Rigorous Development of Complex Fault-Tolerant Systems
Many software systems have reached a level of complication, mainly because of their size, heterogeneity and distribution, which results in faults appearing that cannot be traced back easily to the code. Some of these "faults" could also be unexpected prog

Foreword
Software is the fuel of the information society. Many of our systems and applications are today controlled and/or developed in software. It is also a well known fact that many software systems have reached a level of complication, mainly because of their size, heterogeneity and distribution (and hopefully not through bad programming), that results in faults appearing which cannot be traced back easily to the code
