Abstract: In this paper we present a timed extension of the ALTARICA formalism. Following previous works, we first extend the semantics of ALTARICA with time and define timed components and timed nodes. Moreover we lift the priority features of ALTARICA to the timed case. We obtain a timed version of ALTARICA, called ALTARICA. Finally we give a translation of a ALTARICA specification into a usual timed automaton. These are the semantic foundations of a high-level hierarchical language for the specification of timed systems.

Keywords: ALTARICA, semantics, timed automata
