These systems span many different application domains, including avionics, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and medical systems, each with its own requirements, standards, and practices. The real-time embedded systems field covers a broad range of systems from simple control loops on micro-controllers to complex interconnected distributed systems.
