Title
Specifying real-time properties in autonomic systems
Abstract
Increasingly, computer software must adapt dynamically to changing conditions. The correctness of adaptation cannot be rigorously addressed without precisely specifying the requirements for adaptation. In many situations, these requirements involve absolute time, in addition to a logical ordering of events. This paper introduces an approach to formally specifying such timing requirements for adaptive software. We introduce TA-LTL, a timed adaptation-based extension to linear temporal logic, and use this logic to specify three timing properties associated with the adaptation process: safety, liveness, and stability. A dynamic adaptation scenario involving interactive audio streaming software is used to illustrate the timed temporal logic.
