Methods and Tools for the Verification of Critical Properties
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses methods for the formal treatment of critical systems. The discussion is based on experience at ICL in the application of formal methods to the development of highly assured secure systems. Problems arising in the use of the standard paradigm for specification and refinement in Z are identified and discussed. Alternative methods which overcome some of these difficulties are presented. A fully worked example is provided showing how the ICL ProofPower proof support tool may be used to specify and verify the critical properties of a secure system using the Z specification language. The paper argues that effective use of formal methods in establishing, with high levels of assurance, that critical systems meet their critical requirements demands methods distinct from those typically advocated for general applications.

Introduction: The assessment of pain in critically ill patients requires careful examination, especially in intubated and traumatic head patients due to the impossibility of using verbal pain scales and changes in non-verbal communication due to the type of injury sustained .The purpose of this study was to compare the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS...
متن کاملReachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...
