Abstract

When designing safety critical hard real-time systems, there is an urgent need for powerful and practically usable methods to assure the correctness and to support the evaluation and validation of the temporal behavior of real-time systems already on the level of the software design. To provide help for both aspects, we propose a formal method based on constraint propagation. The underlying idea is to derive all temporal relationships inside the software design from the environmentally motivated temporal constraints and the user-defined temporal system requirements.
