Real-time systems process transactions immediately as the event occurs, unlike batch processing systems which have a lag time between the event and processing. Real-time systems require more hardware and programming resources, as well as more training, but have the advantage of providing immediate results. They also tend to require more resources per unit of output due to their high-speed processing requirements.
