Abstract

Existing formal techniques for the development of softwarefor use in safety-critical systems do not adequately addressnon-functional system requirements such as those involving timing.In this paper we describe a formal development method in whichspecifications may be decomposed into unexceptional programswhilst preserving the functional and timing requirements of thespecification. We illustrate the method with a speed monitoringexample.
