The Bourgeois Gentleman, Engineering and Formal Methods
This work targets engineers and developers in safety-critical industries to improve system reliability, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing integration efforts.
The paper addresses the limited adoption of formal methods in industrial safety-critical systems by proposing a game changer that integrates them seamlessly into engineering processes.
Industrial applications involving formal methods are still exceptions to the general rule. Lack of understanding, employees without proper education, difficulty to integrate existing development cycles, no explicit requirement from the market, etc. are explanations often heard for not being more formal. This article reports some experience about a game changer that is going to seamlessly integrate formal methods into safety critical systems engineering.
