Recent Advances on the Timely Computing Base Model

The development of applications in large-scale real-time systems is known to be a complex task. One of the main difficulties consists in reconciling timeliness expectations with the uncertainty of the environment. The problem has been addressed by several authors, each in its own way [3, 5, 6], but all share the observation that synchronism or asynchronism are not homogeneous properties of systems.
