1. Determinism - Operations are performed at fixed, predetermined times or within predetermined time intervals.

2. Responsiveness - How long it takes to process to acknowledge an interrupt.

3. User control - Broader control by user - scheduling tasks, distinction between priorities of scheduled processes, etc.

4. Reliability - Faults and errors can't just be resolved with rebooting. System has to be reliable and fault tolerant, and provide mechanisms for recovery.

5. Fail-soft operation - Preserving as much data as possible when failing.
