L. Môtus · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
Following a short discussion on the essence of time and on the applicability of dense time for modeling software, the paper focuses on the time model that has been suggested for the UML profile for Schedulability, Performance, and Time. It is suggested that the profile be extended with timing analysis of interactions. Potential extensions of the time services, required for description and analysis of timing requirements on interactions and validity intervals of events and data are explained in a separate section. Some open research problems are listed in the conclusion.
