Abstract

The time progress assumption is at the core of the semantics of real-time formalisms. It is also the major obstacle to the development of partial-order techniques for real-time distributed systems since the events are ordered both by causality and by their occurrence in time. Anyway, extended free choice safe time Petri nets (TPNs) were already identified as a class where partial order semantics behaves well. We show that, for this class, the time progress assumption can even be dropped (time may go back in case of concurrency), which establishes a nice relation between partial-order semantics and time progress assumption.
