Abstract

For the past ten years, I have been designing formal specification languages for specifying software requirements on complex systems. In order to understand what is needed in such languages, my students and I have been applying our ideas to real systems and using what we have learned to generate new hypotheses about what is needed to make such languages both useful and used. This research is part of a larger effort to assist in developing safety-critical embedded systems.
