Validation of timing properties for interoperability in distributed real-time applications

This paper deals with the main role of timing properties in communication stacks (respectively Application processes) to achieve interoperability (respectively interworking) of equipment (respectively Application processes) in real-time distributed applications. The inter-operability (respectively interworking) property expresses the global capability of equipment (respectively Application processes) to exchange informations and cooperate in order to meet the end user requirements.
