Abstract

In the 21st century we seldom see any industry or service organization working without the help of an embedded software system. Such a dependence of mankind on software systems has made it necessary to produce software that is more and more reliable. Complex safety critical systems currently being designed and built are often difficult multi-disciplinary undertakings. Part of these systems is often a computer control system. In order to ensure that these systems perform without failure, even under extreme conditions, it is important to build extremely high reliability in them, both for hardware and software. There are many real life examples when failures in computer systems of safety critical systems have caused spectacular failure resulting in calamitous loss to life and economy.
