Re: Parallel Concurrency in Real-Time

[tjoccam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Lawrence Dickson)]

All,
   I agree with Oyvind Teig on expanding our vocabulary... also
robust, data flow [those are two concepts that scare the
competition], multitasking, multiprocessing, multiprogramming
[the last referrring to independent programs on one system and
communicating using CSP constructs]. 
   "Real-time" is a bit touchy because it can be defined in
such a way as to require specsmanship (forcing bad design to
win a benchmark contest, like response time).
