Abstract

In this paper we describe a technique for specifying time related properties on traditional software components. We apply the separation of concerns paradigm to allow independent specification of timing and to integrate timechecking specialized tool support into conventional software design processes. We aim at helping the designer to specify time contracts and at simplifying the introduction of time properties in the component behaviour description. We propose to handle timing issues in a separate and specific design activity, in order to provide means of formal computation of time properties for component assemblies without modifying in depth existing design processes.
