We define timed modal specifications, an automata-based formalism combining modal and timed aspects. As a stepping stone to compositional approaches of timed systems, we define the notions of refinement and consistency, and establish their decidability %U http://www.irisa.fr/vertecs/Publis/Ps/BPR-lata09.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-00982-2_13 %8 April %D 2009
