Special Real Time Operating System (SRTOS) is a discontinued IBM real time operating system, originally designed for use in the electricity industry, but later also applied in other areas of industrial process control.[1][2][3] It formed part of the Realtime Plant Management System (RPMS) and Advanced Control System (ACS).[3][4] Rather than a standalone operating system, it was designed as an extension to the OS/VS1 and OS/VS2 (later MVS) operating systems.[1][4] It was also used in the paper industry.[5] SRTOS was originally released in 1976,[1] and though no longer supported as a program product, it is currently used as part of several ACS and RPMS installations worldwide.[4]
