In this paper, we review current requirements engineering (RE) research and identify future
research directions suggested by emerging software needs. First, we overview the state of …

We are seeing an increased push in the use of formal verification techniques in safety-
critical software and hardware in practice. Formal verification has been successfully used to …

Benchmarks have been used in computer science to compare the performance of computer
systems, information retrieval algorithms, databases, and many other technologies. The …

In this paper, we present our experiences in using symbolic model checking to analyze a
specification of a software system for aircraft collision avoidance. Symbolic model checking …

Formal methods encompass a wide choice of techniques and tools for the specification,
development, analysis, and verification of software and hardware systems. Formal methods …

Exposing inconsistencies can uncover many defects in software specifications. One
approach to exposing inconsistencies analyzes two redundant specifications, one …

Although model checking has proven remarkably effective in detecting errors in hardware
designs, its success in the analysis of software specifications has been limited. Model …

R2U2 (Realizable, Responsive, Unobtrusive Unit) is an extensible framework for runtime
System HealthManagement (SHM) of cyber-physical systems. R2U2 can be run in hardware …

As software becomes ever more ubiquitous and complex in medical devices, it becomes
increasingly important to assure that it performs safely and effectively. The critical nature of …
