| Abstract: | We present an integration of the formal specification languages Z and timed CSP, called RT-Z, incorporating their combined
strengths in a coherent frame. To cope with complex systems, RT-Z is equipped with structuring constructs built on top of
the integration, because both Z and timed CSP lack appropriate facilities. The formal semantics of RT-Z, based on the denotational
semantics of Z and timed CSP, is a prerequisite for preciseness and mathematical rigour. RT-Z is intended to be used in the
requirements definition and design phases of the system and software development process. The envisaged application area is
the development of real-time embedded systems.
