摘要
In the design of dependable software for embed- ded and real-time operating systems, time analysis is a cru- cial but extremely difficult issue, the challenge of which is exacerbated due to the randomness and nondeterminism of interrupt handling behaviors. Thus research into a theory that integrates interrupt behaviors and time analysis seems to be important and challenging. In this paper, we present a pro- gramming language to describe programs with interrupts that is comprised of two essential parts： main program and inter- rupt handling programs. We also explore a timed operational semantics and a denotational semantics to specify the mean- ings of our language. Furthermore, a strategy of deriving de- notational semantics from the timed operational semantics is provided to demonstrate the soundness of our operational se- mantics by showing the consistency between the derived de- notational semantics and the original denotational semantics.
