Summary:Abstract: "It has been repeatedly observed that the standard safety-liveness classification of properties of reactive systems does not fit for real-time properties. This is because the implicit 'liveness' of time shifts the spectrum towards the safety side. While, for example, response -- that 'something good' will happen, eventually -- is a classical liveness property, bounded response -- that 'something good' will happen soon, within a certain amount of time -- has many characteristics of safety. We account for this phenomenon formally by defining safety and liveness relative to a given condition, such as the progress of time."
