Abstract
Static configurations and slow adaption to changing requirements characterize today’s production systems. In order to cope with variable external influences, these systems need to become more flexible. One basic building block to achieve more flexible automation systems from the software perspective are modular real-time architectures which are realized as distributed real-time systems. The improved modularity and flexibility come at the price of greater complexity. In order to enable developers to design robust systems regarding real-time properties, a domain specific language is proposed, which allows reasoning and validation of modules and composed distributed real-time systems.
