In this paper we propose a timed extension for RPOO, a Petri-net based object-oriented modeling language. The timing strategy of the proposed extension, called RPOOt, is based on the timing strategy from the Timed Coloured Petri nets formalism. A simple stop-and-wait protocol RPOO model was developed in order to demostrate the proposed extension. We also show some performance measures for the model. RPOOt showed to be easily integrated with Timed Coloured Petri Nets, providing means for modeling time consuming activities inside objects as well as among objects. els of computation (such as process algebras, Petri nets, event structures, modal logics, rewrite systems etc.) on the basis of their relative expressive power. The EXPRESS workshops were originally held as meetings of the HCM project EXPRESS, which was active with the same focus from January 1994 till December 1997. The first three workshops were held respectively in Amsterdam (1994, chaired by Frits Vaandrager), Tarquinia (1995, chaired by Rocco De Nicola), and Dagstuhl (1996, co-chaired by Ursula Goltz and Rocco De Nicola). The workshop in 1997, which took place in Santa Margherita Ligure and was co-chaired by Catuscia Palamidessi and Joachim Parrow, was organized as a conference with a call for papers and a significant attendance from outside the project. The 1998 workshop was held as a satellite workshop of the CONCUR'98 conference in Nice, co-chaired by Ilaria Castellani and Catuscia Palamidessi, and like on that occasion EXPRESS'99 was hosted by the CONCUR'99 conference in Eindhoven, co-chaired by Ilaria Castellani and Bjorn Victor. The EXPRESS'00 workshop was again held as a satellite workshop of CONCUR 2000, Pennsylvania State University, USA, co-chaired by Luca Aceto and Bjorn Victor.
