Abstract

So-called formal methods have been advocated as techniques in software and systems engineering to improve the correctness and reliability of system and software development --- in practice with limited success. In contrast, modeling concepts have found high interest in the development of software intensive systems in recent years in industry. Models are not necessary formal and formal methods do not necessarily provide useful models. We discuss the role of models and the advantages, in particular, of formal models in system development with emphasis on their seamless use.
