Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This report introduces a new rigorous notation called Real-time Interactions that can be used to model the interactions between a system and its environment. The concept of Real-Time Interaction (RTIs) is introduced, and the Conversation Constraint Language (CCL), an abstract notation that is used to record the interactions that occur in a system and between the system and its environment in a way based on natural language. An Appendix gives details of a set of macros that can be used to translate the CCL constructs into Real-time Logic (RTL). The use of the new notations with the RTT notations previously developed in the DCSC is illustrated using two case studies, a Railway Crossing and a Cashpoint Transaction. An initial partial abstract syntax of RTIs, and details of the RTI representations of the two case studies are also included as Appendices.
