Our world is getting more and more surrounded by electronical devices. Only a few years ago this surrounding was limited to Radio's and Televisions. Soon after we got our Microwaves and washing machines, not to mention the boom in the mobile phone corner. All these devices require Operating systems and nearly all require real-time operating systems.

To define a real-time operating system is beyond the scope of this article, what is not however is that all (real-time) operating systems use some sort of scheduling algorithm.

We have done a literature study concerining one of these algorithms, called Fixed Priority Deferred Schedule (FPDS) and looked at various aspects of it.
