Formal methods [PDF]

open access: yesACM Computing Surveys, 2009
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.

Empirical Formal Methods: Guidelines for Performing Empirical Studies on Formal Methods

open access: yesSoftware, 2022
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

A formal nethod (a networked formal method)

Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering, 2010
A year-long trial has seen a large lightweight verification problem treated by an ad hoc distributed network of identical solvers. The trialled problem is the semantic analysis of the C code in the Linux kernel to exclude a common deadlock possibility.

Limits of formal methods

Formal Aspects of Computing, 1997
AbstractFormal methods can help to increase the correctness and trustworthiness of the software developed. However, they do not solve all the problems of software development. This paper analyses some limitations of formal methods.
