Traditionally, the area of model-based performance and dependability evaluation and the area of formal specification and verification of systems have been approached completely independently of each other. However, increasingly, system properties related to performance and dependability cannot be seen separately from issues concerning the formal correctness of systems, that is, the notion of "correctness" includes aspects of both performance and dependability. Therefore, a separate treatment of these system aspects becomes less appropriate.

Over the last few years, good progress has been made in combining techniques from these previously separate fields. Active areas of research are model-checking procedures for stochastically timed systems and deductive verification techniques in which time bounds play a role. However, all these results are currently only available in state-of-the-art research literature, and, moreover, spread over journals and conferences of different research communities. It goes without saying that there are currently no textbooks available on this subject. Hence, to obtain a good overview of the important results and about the open research topics in this area, a structured review of the literature seems most appropriate and timely.
