The "International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems" (IJCCBS) is a quarterly research journal by Inderscience Publishers. It focuses on engineering and verification of complex computer-based systems (where complex means large, distributed and heterogeneous) in critical applications, with special emphasis on model-based approaches and industrial case-studies. Critical computer-based systems include real-time control, fly/brake-by-wire, on-line transactional and web servers, biomedical apparels, networked devices for telecommunications, environmental monitoring, infrastructure protection, etc.
This document contains some pointers to information on Formal Methods, useful for mathematically describing and reasoning about computer-based systems, available around the world on the World Wide Web (WWW). Formal methods are a fault avoidance technique that help in the reduction of errors introduced into a system, particularly at the earlier stages of design. They complement fault removal techniques like testing.
