Abstract

In this chapter we will present selected central elements in the theory of Duration Calculus and we will give examples of applications. The chapter will cover syntax, semantics and proof system for the basic logic. Furthermore, results on decidability, undecidability and model-checking will be presented. A few extensions of the basic calculus will be described, in particular, Hybrid Duration Calculus and Duration Calculus with iterations. Furthermore, a case study: the biphase mark protocol, is presented. We will not attempt to be exhaustive in our coverage of topics; but we will provide references for further study.
