Abstract Introduction An informative medical handover facilitates safe patient care. It was recognized that insufficient clinical information at resulted in unsafe communication the general surgical department Pinderfields General Hospital (PGH). We aim to utilise Royal College of Surgeons’ (RCS) and British Medical Association’s (BMA) guidelines improve existing system, facilitate an efficient...

Diagrams have been left as an informal tool in hardware reasoning , thus rendering them unacceptable representations within formal reasoning systems. We demonstrate some advantages of formally supporting diagrams in hardware veriication systems via a simple example and provide a portion of a formal logic that includes hardware diagrams upon which we are constructing a veriication tool.

This paper relates experiences with formal methods that are relevant to the systems engineering activities of requirements specification, design documentation, and test case generation. Specifically, this paper reviews the lessons learned from the application of formal methods to selected components of an air traffic management system. This project used experimental tools developed at the Unive...

Most formal models that are used in the industry are close to the level of code, and often ready to be used for code generation. Formal models can also be analysed and verified in order to detect any faults. As the first formal models are often such code-level models, their analysis not only reveals a lot of detailed design faults, but also the more relevant conceptual faults in the design and ...

The authors conducted an informal survey of contractors, customers, and certification authorities in the United States aerospace domain to identify barriers to the adoption of formal methods and suggested mitigations for those barriers. We surveyed 31 individuals from the following nine organizations: United States Army, Boeing, FAA, Galois, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, NASA, Rockwell Collins, a...

let ( r,m ) be a noetherian local ring, a an ideal of r and m a finitely generated r- module. we investigate some properties of formal local cohomology modules with respect to a serre subcategory. we provide a common language to indicate some properties of formal local cohomology modules. let ( r,m ) be a noetherian local ring, a an ideal of r and m a finitely generated r- module. we investigat...
