FRORL (Frame-and-Rule Oriented Requirements specification Language) was proposed to exploit knowledge representation techniques as an aid in the specification, analysis, and development of a software system. With the real-time software systems as our target systems, the merely mechanisms provided by FRORL cannot meet the specific demands on real-time software systems. As a result, in this paper, we propose RT-FRORL (Real-Time FRORL) as an extension of FRORL. RT-FRORL not only inherits FRORL's basic structure but also includes those language constructs needed to support the specification of real-time systems. The syntax of RT-FRORL is based on frames and production rules. The semantics of RT-FRORL is defined through the integration of first order logic and temporal logic extension. Using RT-FRORL, concurrent and absolute time properties of real-time systems can be easily specified.

Software Engineering (SE) and Knowledge Engineering (KE) are closely related disciplines with goals of turning the development process of software systems and knowledge-based systems, respectively, into engineering disciplines. In particular, they together can provide systematic approaches for engineering intelligent software systems more efficiently and cost-effectively. As there is a large overlap between the two disciplines, the interplay is vital for both to be successful. In this paper, we divide the intersection of SE and KE into three subareas, namely Knowledge-Supported Software Engineering (KSSE), Engineering Knowledge as a Software (EKaaS), and Intelligent Software System Engineering (ISSE). For each subarea, we describe the challenges along with the current trends, and predict the future research directions that may have the most potential for success.
