   An excellent single paper for introducing the issues in real-time systems
is:

   "Misconceptions about Real-Time Computing: A Serious Problem for 
    Next-Generation Systems," by John Stankovic, IEEE Computer, Oct. 1988.

   For a more thorough coverage of real-time systems, look for the IEEE 
tutorial:

    Tutorial: Hard Real-Time Systems, Edited by John Stankovic and Krithi
    Ramamritham.

   I have a list of references that I have posted in the past. If there is a 
demand, I will repost the list.
