A formal method is not the main engine of a development process, its contribution is to improve system dependability by motivating formalisation where useful. This book summarizes the results of the DEPLOY research project on engineering methods for dependable systems through the industrial deployment of formal methods in software development. The applications considered were in automotive, aerospace, railway, and enterprise information systems, and microprocessor design. The project introduced a formal method, Event-B, into several industrial organisations and built on the lessons learned to provide an ecosystem of better tools, documentation and support to help others to select and introduce rigorous systems engineering methods. The contributing authors report on these projects and the lessons learned. For the academic and research partners and the tool vendors, the project identified improvements required in the methods and supporting tools, while the industrial partners learned about the value of formal methods in general. A particular feature of the book is the frank assessment of the managerial and organisational challenges, the weaknesses in some current methods and supporting tools, and the ways in which they can be successfully overcome. The book will be of value to academic researchers, systems and software engineers developing critical systems, industrial managers, policymakers, and regulators.

As a consequence of the wide distribution of software and software infrastructure, information security and safety depend on the quality and excellent understanding of its functioning. Only if this functionality is guaranteed as safe, customer and information are protected against adversarial attacks and malfunction. A vast proportion of information exchange is dominated by computer systems. Due to the fact that technical systems are more or less interfaced with software systems, most information exchange is closely related to software and computer systems.

This Festschrift, dedicated to Jan Peleska on the occasion of his 65th birthday, contains papers written by many of his closest collaborators in academic and industry research. After studying mathematics at the University of Hamburg, Jan worked with Philips and Deutsche System-Technik on fault-tolerant systems, distributed systems, database systems, and safety-critical embedded systems. Since 1994 he has worked as a consultant to industry, specializing in development methods, verification, validation and test of safety-critical systems, and since 1995 he has been a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bremen. In his research he has been most interested in the combination and application of existing methods and corresponding tools to real-world problems, particularly in the field of safety-critical embedded systems and distributed systems, including avionics and railway control systems. The papers in this volume reflect those interests, and the impact he has had on colleagues and collaborators. The volume is structured into sections on testing; railway verification and safety & security; intelligent systems and cyber-physical systems; and tools and techniques for specification, verification and code generation.
