[Characteristic] Animal and Plant Kingdoms [Nature] Most complex living organisms on Earth fall into animal and plant classifications. From organization point of view, plants are completely distributed system with no centralized control. Animals have centralized control in form of a central nervous system and brain.
Complex Realtime systems can generally be designed with two techniques: Distributed processing with overall centralized control (Animal). In such systems a central processor would keep track of overall operation of the system. Distributed processing with little or no centralized control (Plant).
