The safety of software is becoming increasingly important as computers pervade control systems on which human life depends. Whilst hardware has become significantly more reliable over the years, the same cannot be said of software. This has become more complex and methods to ensure its correctness have been slow in development. One approach is to mathematically verify software in such systems. This paper investigates the industrial use of these techniques, their advantages and disadvantages, and the introduction of standards and their recommendations concerning formal methods in this area. The cost of safety is also considered.
This paper considers a range of theoretical approaches to the understanding of organisations and the implications these views have for the design of computer supported cooperative work systems. Organisations have ofte...

An efficient backward execution algorithm in the AND/OR Process Model for parallel evaluation of logic programs is proposed. The efficiency of the algorithm is achieved by means of information acquired during execution of clauses. The algorithm is considered to be efficient in the sense that it issues fewer number of cancel messages and avoids unnecessary resetting operations. Furthermore, it performs independent redoing and resetting more concurrently than other related works.

A valuable technique during concept development is rapid prototyping of software for key design components. This approach is particularly useful when the optimum design approach is not readily apparent or several known alternatives need to be rapidly evaluated. A problem inherent in rapid prototyping is the lack of a "target system" with which to interface. Some alternatives are to develop test driver libraries, integrate the prototype with an existing working simulator, or build one for the specific problem. This paper presents a unique approach to concept development using rapid prototyping for concept development and scenario-based simulation for concept verification. The rapid prototyping environment, derived from artificial intelligence technology, is based on a blackboard architecture. The rapid prototype simulation capability is provided through an object-oriented modeling environment. It is shown how both simulation and blackboard technologies are used collectively to rapidly gain insight into a tenacious problem. A specific example will be discussed where this approach was used to evolve the logic of a mission controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle.
