We present three perspectives of the use of formalism in the construction of High-Integrity Embedded Real-time Systems. In the first, we describe the long-term research aims. The scope is the entire system, the goal is to demonstrate intentional correctness, and the emphasis is on scientific certainty. In the second, we present medium-term research aims. The scope is more on the software in the system, and the emphasis shifts to the notion of engineering confidence. Following on from the medium-term view we propose a set of challenges for formal engineering methods research, based on our perception of the technical issues surrounding the provision of viable engineering solutions. In the third perspective we discuss the short term. In particular, we describe how our recent research is attempting to meet some of the proposed challenges, as a first step towards our medium and long-term aspirations.
