+The scheduling concepts relate to the allocation of processing time for tasks.
+
The concept of scheduling in real-time systems dictates the ability to provide
-an immediate response to specific external events, particularly the necessity of
-scheduling tasks to run within a specified time limit after the occurrence of
-an event. For example, software embedded in life-support systems used to
-monitor hospital patients must take instant action if a change in the patient's

+of scheduling tasks to run within a specified time limit after the occurrence
+of an event. For example, software embedded in life-support systems used to
+monitor hospital patients must take instant action if a change in the patient’s
status is detected.
The component of RTEMS responsible for providing this capability is
-appropriately called the scheduler. The scheduler's sole purpose is to
-allocate the all important resource of processor time to the various tasks
-competing for attention.
