From the Publisher:
This volume provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to system specification and design methods, with particular emphasis on structured and formal methods, method integration, concurrency and safety-critical systems. It contains both new material by Jonathan Bowen and Michael Hinchey, along with reprints of classic articles on high-integrity systems which have never before appeared together in a single volume.

Faithfully formalizing OSEK/VDX operating system specification
SoICT '12: Proceedings of the 3rd Symposium on Information and Communication TechnologyOSEK/VDX has proposed a standard for operating systems used in automotive systems. This standard is described in the form of informal specification. The informal specification is not suitable for applying formal methods to the whole of the software ...
Design and Implementation of a Tool for Specifying Specification in SOFL
Revised Selected Papers of the Second International Workshop on Structured Object-Oriented Formal Language and Method - Volume 7787Structure Object-oriented Formal Language SOFL is not just a formal language for writing formal specification. It is also an approach and a methodology. SOFL provides a three-step approach for modelling a software system using formal specification. ...
