  abstract=      "As systems increase in complexity and become combinations of
     hardware,
software and physical components, the methods of
     integrating these
become difficult. In safety critical
     systems, reliability is a key
factor so we want faults to be
     predictable or mitigated wherever
possible. This research
     aims to discover techniques of applying
formal methods for
     software to a full system incorporating hardware
and
     physical components, expecting to result in improvements in
     the way
interfaces are defined, such that updates and
     maintenance in the system
will not affect its reliability or
     performance.  Another aim alongside
this is to review the
     processes followed in industry throughout the
design and
     development cycle, to find methods of keeping focus
     on
meeting the requirements along all stages of the process."
