چکیده

Standards concerned with the development of safety-critical systems, and the software in such systems in particular, abound today as the software crisis increasingly aaects the world of embedded computer-based systems. The use of formal methods is often advocated as a way of increasing conndence in such systems. This paper examines the industrial use of these techniques, the recommendations concerning formal methods in a number of current and draft standards, and comments on the applicability and problems of using formal methods for the development of safety-critical systems of an industrial scale. Some possible future directions are suggested.

Formal Methods in Safety-Critical Standards

There is great interest in ensuring correctness of safety-critical embedded systems since on the one hand the use of software gives greatly increased functionality and exibility and on the other hand it provides unprecedented possibilities for errors. Formal methods are one technique that could improve the situation. Their use is now being suggested by an increasing number of standards in the s...

Using Formal Methods in a Retrospective Safety Case

Today the development of safety-critical systems is to a large extent guided by standards that make demands on both development process and system quality. Before the advent of these standards, development was typically done on a “best practise” basis which could differ much between application areas. Some safety-critical systems (e.g. railway interlockings) have a long technical and economical...

HAZOP Analysis of UML-Based Software Architecture Descriptions of Safety-Critical Systems

Safety-critical systems which are systems that may harm the environment they are operating in are commonplace. Standards and regulations for developing software for safety-critical systems usually require restricted programming languages and formal methods. For reasons of scale and for coping with the complexities of large systems it may be beneficial to use modern object-oriented techniques in...

Formal Safety Analysis in Transportation Control

Transportation control systems are safety critical systems. While a couple of years ago control systems mainly used to be built up from (electro-) mechanical devices, nowadays more and more functionality is software controlled. To sustain the high level safety standards for these embedded systems, we propose to use fault tree analysis integrated with formal methods for analyzing system safety. ...
