See the ATC system requirements set in the ADARTS Guidebook, vol. 2.
(ATC is one of the example systems used to teach ADARTS). It's
reasonably
small, and chock-full of those tricky system timing issues that appear
to be trouble in Eiffel. (See, I can reuse requirements! :)

For more information, see http://www.software.org.

(although
I like Ada better).
