Interface modeling and specification are central issues of component-based software engineering. How a component will be used is specified in its interface. Real-time interfaces are interfaces with timing constraints relating the time of outputs with the time of inputs. The timing constraint of an interface may depend on the resource availability for the component. In this paper, we propose a general model for real-time interfaces. At a time during execution, an interface behaves according to a contract made with environment about its functionality as well as execution time to fulfill the contract. This contract is specified as a timed design using the UTP notations, and depends on the computation histories of the interface. We model this dependence as a partial function from computation histories of the interface to real-time contracts. How interfaces are composed to form new interfaces, how interfaces are refined, and how to represent interfaces finitely are also considered in this paper. We show that checking the consistency between an environment and an interface and checking the refinement between two interfaces when they are represented by an automaton can be done effectively.
