I normally don't like complaining about terminology but "real time" means something: deadlines. If you don't have a deadline, you don't have a real time system. The coopting of the word is making it more difficult to find and list resources if you don't already know how to prefix it with "soft" or "hard."

Wow, I'd never heard this terminology before but I just spent an unnecessary length of time reading the Wikipedia page on "Real-time computation" and it's interesting set of technical considerations I hadn't thought much about before. Thanks for making me aware of this.
