%B OUG\-13: Real\-Time Systems with Transputers
%X As occam based technology matures, and more transputer
   implementations evolve, new application domains will open
   up. This in turn will place fresh requirements on the
   language. In some instances occam, in its current form, will
   be unsuitable and language changes will be inevitable. This
   is, of course, at odds with producing a &quot;standard&quot;
   and &quot;stable&quot; language definition.The purpose of
   this paper is to identify the outstanding issues that must
   be discussed in the short, medium or long\-term, if occam
   (and the transputer) is to be used for a wide range of
   dependable real\-time applications in current and future
   systems. Our approach is to start with application
   requirements, from these to indicate occam problem areas and
   then, if appropriate, offer potential solutions. The areas
   considered are those associated with hard real\-time,
   software reliability, mode changes, dynamic change
   management and fault management.
