Abstract
This chapter addresses the fundamental concepts concerning real-time, starting with the definition real-time and clarifying a few current misconceptions. It traces the evolution of real-time computing towards distribution and discusses its relation with fault-tolerance. Finally, the most relevant architectural approaches to real-time in networks and distributed systems are introduced, to be detailed in the subsequent chapters of this part.
