%X 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.
