Formal methods use mathematical models for analysis and verification at any part of the program life-cycle. We describe the state of the art in the industrial use of formal methods, concentrating on their increasing use at the earlier stages of specification and design.

Formal Methods in Conformance Testing: A Probabilistic Refinement [PDF]
This paper refines the framework of ‘Formal Methods in Conformance Testing’ by introducing probabilities for concepts which have a stochastic nature. Test execution is refined into test runs, where each test run is considered as a stochastic process that

Gaussian Process Panel Modeling—Machine Learning Inspired Analysis of Longitudinal Panel Data
In this article, we extend the Bayesian nonparametric regression method Gaussian Process Regression to the analysis of longitudinal panel data. We call this new approach Gaussian Process Panel Modeling (GPPM).

Formal and Informal Methods for Multi-Core Design Space Exploration
We propose a tool-supported methodology for design-space exploration for embedded systems. It provides means to define high-level models of applications and multi-processor architectures and evaluate the performance of different deployment (mapping ...

Empirical Formal Methods: Guidelines for Performing Empirical Studies on Formal Methods
Empirical studies on formal methods and tools are rare. In this paper, we provide guidelines for such studies. We mention their main ingredients and then define nine different study strategies (usability testing, laboratory experiments with software and human subjects, case studies, qualitative studies, surveys, judgement studies, systematic literature
