Abstract

We introduce an extension to the declarative and artifact-centric Guard Stage Milestone (GSM) process modeling language to represent temporal aspects (duration, deadlines, lower- and upper-bound constraints), define the correctness of executions of GSM processes with respect to temporal constraints, check controllability of processes, compute execution plans respecting temporal constraints, and provide a translation method allowing to execute controllable GSM+T processes on standard GSM Engines.
