Component-based software engineering advocates construction of software systems through composition of coordinated autonomous components. Significant benefits of this approach include software reuse, simpler and faster construction, enhanced reliability, and dramatic reductions in the complexity of construction of provably correct critical systems, many of which involve real-time concerns. Effective, flexible component composition by itself still poses a challenge today and yet the special… Expand

It is shown that the expressiveness of the timed μ-calculus is incomparable to theexpressiveness of timed CTL, which does not impair the symbolic verification of "implementable" real-time programs-those whose safety constraints are machine-closed with respect to diverging time and whose fairness constraints are restricted to finite upper bounds on clock values.
