This is because the implicit “liveliness” of time shifts the spectrum towards the safety side. While, for example, response—that “something good” will happen eventually—is a classical liveness property, bounded response—that “something good” will happen soon, within a certain amount of time—has many characteristics of safety. We account for this phenomenon formally by defining safety and liveness relative to a given condition, such as the progress of time.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"1992","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0020-0190"]},"date_updated":"2022-03-07T11:31:23Z","month":"09","title":"Sooner Is Safer Than Later","acknowledgement":"The author thanks Martin Abadi, Rajeev Alur, David Dill, Leslie Lamport, Zohar Manna, Amir Pnueli, Fred Schneider, and two anonymous referees for many valuable suggestions and improvements.
