ABSTRACT
This paper argues that real-time control systems should be structured
in abstraction layers in provide adequate instruction formalisms for
both task specification and for low level control, and that the design
information used when specifying the system should be included in the
encoding of the abstraction barrier. When this design information is
available, describing the semantics of the abstraction, the problems
with interdependencies between real-time control and task level
operation can be handled.
An example of a system encompassing this principle - Aramis - is
presented. The paper discusses how this principle can be utilised to
analyse the system and for error recovery support.
