his paper presents work performed in the EPSRC “Object-oriented Specification of Reactive and Real-time Systems” project. It aims to provide formal design methods for real-time systems, using a combination of the VDM$$^{++}$$ formal method and the HRT-HOOD method. We identify refinement steps for hard real-time systems in VDM$$^{++}$$, together with a case study of a mine-pump control system, involving a combination of VDM$$^{++}$$ and HRT-HOOD. We also consider the representation of hybrid systems in VDM$$^{++}$$.
