 Real-Time Research at Boston University
Real-Time Computing is a generic enabling technology for many important applications, including multimedia, financial trading systems, air-traffic control systems, robotics, and process control, just to name a few.
In a real-time system, the use of such algorithms may be detrimental, making it necessary to craft new algorithms that aim at minimizing the ``percentage of missed deadlines'', for instance.
The environments in which such computing systems are embedded pose relatively rigid requirements on their performance.

 Formal Methods for Real-Time Computing
A timed automaton accepts timed words --- infinite sequences in which a real-valued time of occurrence is associated with each symbol.
Timing constraints are then postulated between these inputs and outputs; they express properties such as end-to-end propagation delay, temporal input-sampling correlation, and allowable separation times between updated output values.
We study timed automata from the perspective of formal language theory: we consider closure properties, decision problems, and subclasses.
