Abstract: This paper describes two case studies in which requirements for new flight-software subsystems on NASA's Space Shuttle were analyzed, one using standard formal specification techniques, the other using state exploration. These applications serve to illustrate three main theses: (1) formal methods can complement conventional requirements analysis processes effectively, (2) formal methods confer benefits regardless of how extensively they are adopted and applied, and (3) formal methods are most...

.... that such formal descriptions can be useful in requirements analysis and other verification and validation activities for critical systems [6]. It is also becoming accepted that state machines provide a natural representation for mental models [13] Now, if a state machine...
...reviews, and cheaper. And they liberate human time and talent for those issues that really do require judgment and consensus (see, e.g. [4]) There are two main approaches to specifying requirements in a formal manner: one way is to describe a model system that has the...
