The journal Real-Time Systems publishes papers, short papers and correspondence articles that concentrate on real-time computing principles and applications. The contents include research papers, invited papers, project reports and case studies, standards and corresponding proposals for general discussion, and a partitioned tutorial on real-time systems as a continuing series.The range of coverage is broad, including requirements engineering, specification and verification techniques, design methods and tools, programming languages, operating systems, scheduling algorithms, architecture, hardware and interfacing, dependability and safety, distributed and other novel architectures, wired and wireless communications, wireless sensor systems, distributed databases, artificial intelligence techniques, expert systems, and application case studies.Real-time systems find application in command and control systems, process control, flight control, avionics, defense systems, vision and robotics, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, and an abundance of embedded systems.

《實時系統》（Real-Time Systems）雜志發表論文、短篇論文和通信文章，重點關注實時計算原理和應用。內容包括研究論文、邀請論文、項目報告和案例研究、標準和相應的一般性討論建議，以及作為一個連續系列的實時系統分區教程。覆蓋范圍廣泛，包括需求工程、規范和驗證技術、設計方法和工具、編程語言、操作系統、調度算法、體系結構、硬件和接口、可靠性和安全性、分布式和其他新型體系結構、有線和無線通信、無線傳感器系統、分布式數據庫、人工智能技術、專家系統和應用案例研究。實時系統在指揮和控制系統、過程控制、飛行控制、航空電子、防御系統、視覺和機器人、普及和無所不在的計算以及豐富的嵌入式系統中得到應用。
