The paper presents a method that utilizes formal specifications both for design of soft real-time (RT) systems, and for their implementation aimed at RT Unix portable operating systems environments defined by the POSIX.4 and POSIX.4a standards. The method stems from the following contributions: (i) extension of the Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) by time-bounded temporal operators for straightforward specifications of RT systems, and (ii) concept of the executive engine that provides services for effective and correct execution of actions according to their specification. The method was employed to develop the Tower Simulation Module of an airport-tower crew training courseware, which is based on the LynxOS operating system.
