Abstract

The systematic translation from a UML/RT model into CSP+T specifications, proposed in a previous paper, may give a way to use jointly UML and CSP in a unified, practical and rigorous software development method for real-time systems. We present here a systematic transformation method to derive a correct system specification in terms of CSP+T from a semi-formal system requirement specification (UML-RT), by applying a set of transformation rules which give a formal semantics to the semi-formal analysis entities of UML/RT, and thus open up the possibility of verifying a software system design that also includes real-time constraints. As to show the applicability of the approach, a correct design of a real-time system is obtained by following the process of development proposed here.
