time-triggered systems

Time-triggered systems are computing systems that perform actions at precise, predetermined times. They operate based on a clock or timer, ensuring tasks occur in a strict schedule regardless of other events. This approach enhances predictability, reliability, and synchronization, making it ideal for applications like automotive control systems, industrial automation, or spacecraft, where consistent timing is critical for safety and performance. Essentially, these systems are like an internal metronome, executing designated tasks exactly when planned.
