Recently, many critical control systems are developed using formal methods. When software applied to such systems is developed, the employment of formal methods in the software requirements specification and verification will provide increased assurance for such applications. Earlier error of overlooked requirement specification can be detected using formal specification method. Also the testing and full verification to examine all reachable states using model checking to undertake formal verification are able to be completed. In the comparison of other formal specification methods, we choose the Z formal language for applying to the train control system. Using Z is able to realize higher correctness in the requirement specification, and we propose the Statemate of the best solution in formal verification tools for the system modeling and verification. The Statemate makes it possible to prove thoroughly the system execution from the simple graphical modeling of the complicated train control system. Then we can expect that the model-based formal method combining Z with Statemate will be utilized widely for the railway systems due to various strong points.

The paper provides the approach to apply formal methods to the development and certification criteria of defense safety/security-critical software. RTCA/DO-178B is recognized as a do facto international standard for airworthiness certification but lack of concrete activities and vagueness of verification/certification criteria have been criticized. In the case of MoD Def Stan 00-55, the guidelines based on formal methods are concrete enough and structured for the defense safety-related software. Also Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level includes the strict requirements of formal methods for the certification of high-level security software. By analyzing the problems of DO-178B and comparing it with MoD Def Stan 00-55 and Common Criteria, we identity the important issues In safety and security space. And considering the identified issues, we carry out merging of DO-178B and CC EAL7 on the basis of formal methods. Also the actual case studies for formal methods applications are shown with respect to the verification and reuse of software components.

The need for children's formal wear is growing as parents take their children into formal occasions more often than before. Yet there are some problems to be solved in order to generalize about children's formal wear such as high price and the development of patterns for better fit and design. Mothers of boys were surveyed to find out the needs, complaints, and required improvements of boy's formal wear. Pattern designers of children's formal wear brands were interviewed to determine the size specifications, pattern drafting methods and design features of each brand. Based on these results, several pattern drafting methods were selected. Jackets and pants for 9-year-olds were made by each pattern drafting method using the us standard size. They were compared through wearing test to improve the fit. As a result, pattern drafting methods for children's tailored suits and two formal jackets were suggested.

Many critical control systems are developed using formal methods. When software applied to such systems is developed, the employment of formal methods in the software requirements specification and verification will provide increased assurance for such applications. Earlier errors of overlooked requirement specification can be detected using the formal specification method. Also, the testing and full verification to examine all reachable states using model checking to undertake formal verification are able to be completed. In this paper, we proposed an eclectic approach to incorporate Z(Zed) formal language and 'Statemate MAGNUM', formal method tools using Statechart. Also we applied the proposed method to train control systems for the formal requirement specification and analyzed the specification results.

This paper considers formal verification methods for enhancing software reliability. The formal method verifies that a software is correctly implemented according to its specification by using a mathematical formalism. This paper presents a partial survey on the formal methods and discusses possible applications for the improved software implementation. Finally, some topics are remarked as further studies.

The requirement of ultra high reliability of the safety critical software can not be demonstrated by testing alone. The specification based on formal method is recommended for safety system software. But there exist various kinds of formal methods, and this variety of formal method is recognized as an obstacle to the wide use of formal method. In this paper six different formal method have been applied to the same part of the functional requirements that is calculation algorithm intensive. The specification results were compared against the criteria that is derived from the characteristics that good software requirements specifications should have and regulatory body recommends to have. The application experience shows that the critical characteristics should be defined first, then appropriate method has to be selected. In our case, the Software Cost Reduction method was recommended for internal condition or calculation algorithm checking, and statechart method is recommended for the external behavioral description.

안전성이 강조되는 실시간 시스템에서 시스템이 시간의 제약을 만족해야만 한다. 실시간 시스템에서 오류는 잘못된 응답 뿐 만이 아니라 시간적으로 늦은 응답에 대해서도 오류로 분류를 할 수가 있다. 이런 오류들을 모니터하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 커널에 Timed Conformance Monitor를 모듈로 추가하였다. Timed Conformance Monitor를 통해서 실시간 태스크가 시간의 제약을 만족하는지를 분석하고 또한 분석 결과에 따라 오류를 처리할 수 있는 Fault Handler를 추가하여 실시간 시스템에 대한 Fault Tolerance를 보장해 줄 수 있다.
