This paper describes three real-time process algebras, ACSR, PACSR and ACSR- VP. ACSR is a resource-bound real-time process that supports synchronous timed actions and asynchronous instantaneous events as well as the notions of resource, priority, exception, and interrupt. PACSR is a probabilistic extension of ACSR with resources that can fail and associated failure probabilities. ACSR-VP extends ACSR with value passing between processes and parameterized process definitions. This paper also provides three simple real-time system examples to illustrate the expressive power and analysis technique of each process algebra.
