Severity: 
Summary: Since changing the TakeInstants and the DeliveryInstants in an ST cluster is a fundamental change of the clusters behavior, these changes are only possible by changing the RODL and/or ROSE files by using the CP-interface. Thus setting the delivery time in the RS-interface for the function Write() should be prevented by using the RS-interface. and the parameter in TimeInstant Time should be removed.
Then it is only necessary to translate timestamps from the cluster internal time to the external time. Translating the time-format in the other way is an optional requirement then.
Thus in Section 3.1 "Every master must provide the capability to translate the representation of the external time to the representation of the internal time of its cluster and vice versa." should be relaxed to "Every master must provide the capability to translate the representation of the internal time of its cluster to the representation of the external time."
In addition the following optional requirement should be added to Section 3.2:
"Convert external time to cluster-internal time: This function enables an ST to convert the external time into the cluster internal format." Thus in Section 3.1 "Every master must provide the capability to translate
the representation of the external time to the representation of the internal
time of its cluster and vice versa." should be relaxed to "Every master must
provide the capability to translate the representation of the internal time of
its cluster to the representation of the external time."
In addition the following optional requirement should be added to Section 3.2:
"Convert external time to cluster-internal time: This function enables an ST
to convert the external time into the cluster internal format."

Summary:
Since changing the TakeInstants and the DeliveryInstants in an ST
cluster is a fundamental change of the clusters behavior, these
changes are only possible by changing the RODL and/or ROSE files by
using the CP-interface. Thus setting the delivery time in the
RS-interface for the function Write() should be prevented by using the
RS-interface. and the parameter in TimeInstant Time should be removed.
Then it is only necessary to translate timestamps from the cluster
internal time to the external time. Translating the time-format in the
other way is an optional requirement then.
Thus in Section 3.1 "Every master must provide the capability to
translate the representation of the external time to the
representation of the internal time of its cluster and vice versa."
should be relaxed to "Every master must provide the capability to
translate the representation of the internal time of its cluster to
the representation of the external time."
In addition the following optional requirement should be added to
Section 3.2:
"Convert external time to cluster-internal time: This function enables
an ST to convert the external time into the cluster internal format."
Resolution:
See above.
