Abstract

Early programming languages used for the implementation of real-time systems did not include language constructs to cope with modularity, concurrency, synchronization, communication, time control, and dependability. The only way to integrate some of that functionality was to allow for assembler language insertions and operating system calls. Programs of that type are extremely non-portable.
