Abstract :
The paper discusses complexity categories associated with the phases of a process model that is followed in a rigorous development of real time reactive systems. We describe the complexity that is inherent in each phase and give measures to quantify it and methods to contain it. One of the goals of the work is to automate the measurement methods and integrate them into TROMLAB, a rigorous framework for the development of real time reactive systems
