Abstract: It is becoming widely accepted that along with the formal specification of functional properties it is necessary, in some systems, to provide a specification of timeliness properties. Unfortunately, the main methods which would seem to provide this form of requirement appear to be targeted at specifying communication protocols. While it is possible to adapt these methods for simple timeliness properties, their use for describing constraints on distributed systems would be impractical... (Update)

...of abstraction, the concept of a retiming is introduced, viz. a mapping between two clocks. 3. 2 The Choice of Z In an Interval Logic in Z [53], INTERVAL is a given set representing time intervals, and relations between intervals are axiomatically defined, for example before,...

...techniques are provided. A different kind of approach involves introducing time into data specification languages such as Z [10, 13, 14], with the closest work to ours being that by Fidge et al. [12] which allows the timed refinement of concurrent systems, including...
