 Real time data acquisition
The concept of interrupts is vital to real-time computing.
Computers used to acquire data in science experiments, in industrial control systems, aerospace applications and some other contexts differ from the "normal", everyday computer most people know in the sense that they are generally "real-time" computers.
Naturally, this definition of real-time means that the requirements for the computer system depends highly on the speed of the external processes in question.

 Real-Time Research at Boston University
Real-Time Computing is a generic enabling technology for many important applications, including multimedia, financial trading systems, air-traffic control systems, robotics, and process control, just to name a few.
In a real-time system, the use of such algorithms may be detrimental, making it necessary to craft new algorithms that aim at minimizing the ``percentage of missed deadlines'', for instance.
The environments in which such computing systems are embedded pose relatively rigid requirements on their performance.

 Formal Methods for Real-Time Computing
A timed automaton accepts timed words --- infinite sequences in which a real-valued time of occurrence is associated with each symbol.
Timing constraints are then postulated between these inputs and outputs; they express properties such as end-to-end propagation delay, temporal input-sampling correlation, and allowable separation times between updated output values.
We study timed automata from the perspective of formal language theory: we consider closure properties, decision problems, and subclasses.
