Real-time database systems has been an active research area in recent times. In spite of this, their applicability to specific applications has not been well studied. We attempt to rectify this shortcoming by studying two applications in detail. These applications are of particular interest, because, a lot of concepts have been developed by assuming certain characteristics of an application for real-time database systems. It is not properly understood as to how these constraints are derived from application needs. We will discuss the data and transaction characteristics of the two applications in detail and see if the protocols and features developed in the research have applicability in these applications. _________________ This work was supported in part by NSF under grants IRI-9114197 and IRI-9208920. A report on the recent NATO Advanced Study Institute on Real-Time Computing identified an important missing ingredient in much of today''s real-time research, i.e., we must take into account real needs of applications in developing appropriate solutions. This paper addresses this issue with respect to real-time databases.
