Models and temporal logics for timed component connectors

Abstract

The coordination language Reo supports compositional system construction through connectors with real-time properties that exogenously coordinate the interactions among the constituent components into a coherent collaboration. In this paper, we present an operational semantics for the channel-based component connectors of Reo in terms of Timed Constraint Automata and introduce a temporal-logic for specification and verification of their real-time properties.
