Abstract

This paper indicates a method of describing real-time processes and their asynchronous communication by means of message exchanges. This description method is based upon an extension of linear time temporal logic to a special temporal logic in which real-time and asynchronous message passing properties can be expressed. We give a model of this logic, define new operators and show amongst others how they can be applied to specify real-time asynchronous message passing and an abstract real-time transmission medium.
