Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a wellknown technique widely used for safety assessment in the area of safety-critical systems. However, FMEA is traditionally done man...
This paper reports on the preparation of test cases using a prototype within the context of a formal development. It describes an approach to building a prototype using an example....
—Formal methods provide remarkable tools allowing for high levels of confidence in the correctness of developments. Their use is therefore encouraged, when not required, for the...
This paper explores the concept of locality in proofs of global safety properties of asynchronously composed, multi-process programs. Model checking on the full state space is ofte...
As a program evolves, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand and reason about changes in the source code. Eventually, if enough changes are made, reverse engineering and ...
