An application program is being developed for

a microprocessor$-$based controller for an automobile. The application is required to perform

the following functions:

i$.$ Monitor and display the speed of the automobile

ii$.$ Monitor the fuel level and raise an alarm, if

necessary

iii. Display the fuel efficiency, i$.$e$.,$ miles$/$gallon

at current speed

iv$.$ Monitor the engine condition and raise an

alarm if an unusual condition arises

v$.$ Periodically record some auxiliary information like speed and fuel level $($i$.$e$.,$ implement

a $$black box$$ as in an airliner.$)$

Answer the following questions concerning the

application:a$.$ Is this a real$-$time application? Justify your

answer.

b$.$ Would creation of multiple processes reduce

the response time of the application? If so$,$

what should be the processes in it$?$ What

should be their priorities?

c$.$ Is it necessary to define any domain$-$specific

events and interrupts? If so$,$ specify their

priorities.
