\subsection{Introduction to Real-Time Systems}
A system is said to be \textbf{real-time} if the total correctness of an operation depends not only upon its logical correctness but also upon the time in which it is performed.
Contrast functional requirements (logical correctness) versus non-functional requirements (time constraints).
There are two main categorisation factors:
\begin{itemize}
    \item   \textbf{Criticality:}
            \begin{itemize}
                \item   \textbf{Hard RTS:} deadlines (responsiveness) is critical.
                        Failure to meet these have severe to catastrophic consequences (e.g., injury, damage, death).
                \item   \textbf{Soft RTS:} deadlines are less critical, in many cases significant tolerance can be permitted.
            \end{itemize}

    \item   \textbf{Speed}
            \begin{itemize}
                \item   \textbf{Fast RTS:} responses in microseconds to hundreds of microseconds.
                \item   \textbf{Slow RTS:} responses in the range of seconds to days.
            \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

A \textbf{safety-critical system (SCS)} or life-critical system is a system whose failure or malfunction may result in death or serious injury to people, loss of equipment / property or severe damage, \& environmental harm.

\section{The Essence of Time: From Measurement to Navigation \& Beyond}
\textbf{Time} is the continued sequence of existence \& events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from past, through the present, into the future.
Methods of temporal measurement, or chronometry, take two distinct forms:
\begin{itemize}
    \item   The \textbf{calendar}, a mathematical tool for organising intervals of term;
    \item   The \textbf{clock}, a physical mechanism that counts the passage of time.
\end{itemize}

Global (maritime) exploration requires exact maritime navigation, i.e., longitude \& latitude calculation.
\textbf{Latitude} (north-south) orientation is straightforward; \textbf{longitude} (east-west orientation) requires a robust (maritime) clock.
\\\\
\textbf{Ground-based navigation systems} like LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) were developed in the 1940s and were in use until recently, and required fixed terrestrial longwave radio transmitters, and receivers on-board of ships \& planes.
They are also referred to as hyperbolic navigation or multilateration.
The principles of ground-based navigation systems is as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item   A \textbf{master} with a known location broadcasts a radio pulse.
    \item   Multiple \textbf{slave} stations with a known distance from the master send their own pulse, upon receiving the master pulse.
    \item   A \textbf{receiver} receives master \& slave pulses and measures the delay between them.
    \item   This allows the receiver to deduce the distance to each of the stations, providing a fix.
\end{enumerate}
