Abstract
This paper applies and refines the ProCoS approach to transformational design of real-time systems to a benchmark case study, the Karlsruhe production cell [10, 9]. We start by formalizing the informal requirements of [10, 9] in Duration Calculus and end with a distributed controller architecture where all components are specified in the program specification language SLtime [18]. Novel is the full treatment of hybrid system components in a parametric and thus reusable way.
