A framework and supporting tool for the model-based analysis for dependable interactive systems in the context of industrial design

This paper describes a tool to support model checking of interactive systems within an industrial environment. The paper introduces the proposed design framework and the tool that is designed to bridge between those familiar with company practice and the less familiar approach based on model checking. The tool was developed to be used in an avionics design setting. It is currently at a prototype stage. The paper describes the experience of a small sample of designers and the design implications arising from their comments.
