Embedded systems are pervasive and frequently used for critical systems with time-
dependent functionality. Dwyer et al have developed qualitative specification patterns to …

One of the challenges of requirements engineering is the fact that requirements are often
formulated in natural language. This represents difficulty if requirements must be processed …

Probabilistic verification techniques are a powerful means to ensure that a software-
intensive system fulfills its quality requirements. To apply these techniques an accurate …

Recently, Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) has been successfully applied to high-level task and
motion planning problems for mobile robots. One of the main attributes of LTL is its close …

The invention relates to a method of creating a requirement description for an embedded
system, including but not only a motor vehicle electronic control unit, in which a vocabulary …

Formal specification languages are often perceived as difficult to use by practitioners, and
are therefore rarely-used in industrial software development practices. Numerous …

Specification patterns have proven to help developers to state precise system requirements,
as well as formalize them by means of dedicated specification languages. Most of the past …

It is pivotal to have well-specified requirements to eliminate errors at an early stage of the
system development life cycle. Some quality standards recommend the use of formal …

Recently, Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) has been successfully applied to high-level task and
