For cos. 4° 18'3", read cos. 14° 18' 3". - Nautical Almanac (1836) In the 1820s, an Englishman named Charles Babbage designed and partly built a calculating machine originally intended for use in deriving and printing logarithmic and other tables used in the shipping industry. At that time, such tables were often inaccurate, copied carelessly, and had been instrumental in causing a number of maritime disasters. Babbage's machine, called a 'Difference Engine' because it performed its cal­ culations using the principle of partial differences, was intended to substantially reduce the number of errors made by humans calculating the tables. Babbage had also designed (but never built) a forerunner of the modern printer, which would also reduce the number of errors admitted during the transcription of the results. Nowadays, a system implemented to perform the function of Babbage's engine would be classed as safety-critical. That is, the failure of the system to produce correct results could result in the loss of human life, mass destruction of property (in the form of ships and cargo) as well as financial losses and loss of competitive advantage for the shipping firm.

This volume provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to system specification and design methods, with particular emphasis on structured and formal methods, method integration, concurrency and safety-critical systems. It contains both new material by Michael Hinchey and Jonathan Bowen, along with reprints of classic articles on high-integrity systems which have never before appeared together in a single volume. Among these classic articles are contributions from such leading names as Leslie Lamport, Nancy Leveson, and C.A.R. Hoare. Also included is a Foreword by David Lorge Parnas. High-Integrity System Specification and Design will provide practitioners and researchers convenient access to a range of essential essays - both classic and state-of-the-art - in a single volume. It provides them with details of specification and design approaches for this type of system, an overview of the development process, and evidence of how various classes of high- integrity systems may be approached and developed successfully.
