POSIX conformance is worth more than POSIX compliance
POSIX conformance is what real-time embedded developers are usually looking for. POSIX conformance means that the POSIX.1 standard is supported in its entirety. In the case of the LynxOS real-time operating system, the routines of the POSIX.1b and POSIX.1c subsets are also supported.

Real-time POSIX: An Overview
The POSIX standard defines a portable interface for UNIX-based operating systems. The goal of this increasingly important standard is source-level portability of applications. In this paper we discuss the real-time extensions to POSIX and how these extensions address the needs of applications with real-time requirements.

The Use of POSIX in Real-time Systems,Assessing its Effectiveness and Performance
In this paper we will discuss the use of POSIX in real-time systems,including the POSIX real-time and thread extensions.We will first discuss what POSIX covers,and the differences that still exist between operating system implementations. We will then look at the performance of various POSIX mechanisms,using as case studies a general purpose OS (Solaris TM 8)and a real-time operating system (LynxOS).
