Specifying Safety-Related Hazards Formally

We show how safety analysis can guide the formal development of controlling software of a safety-critical system. The system is specified in action system framework. The framework is based on a firm mathematical foundation within which the reasoning about the correctness and behavior of the system under development is carried out. We encode information about the identified hazards and their lev...

An analysis of all three hazards--shock, arc, and blast--must be completed and steps taken to prevent injuries. The fol...
