A Formal Approach to Specify the Reflective Design of Software Components with Timing Constraints

摘要

In software engineering, formal software specification has long been touted as a way to increase the quality and reliability of software. At the same time, component-based development (CBD) is an important emerging topic, which aims to compose systems from prebuilt software units or components. How to formally represent the software components supporting the development of real-time application systems is the focus of this paper. For the purpose, this paper presents a reflective semantic model for real-time software component (RSM4RSC) as a formal approach to specify the reflective design of software components with timing constraints.
