Abstract:

Large scale embedded software intensive systems as we find them, for instance, in cars today need structured techniques in terms of comprehensive architectures for mastering their specification, development, and verification. Comprehensive system architectures provide the appropriate levels of abstraction separating logical from technical views. We show how logical architecture provides a systematic focal point for specification and refinement based development with early verification.
