Abstract
Pervading areas and carrying out control functions which were only recently unthinkable, embedded programmable electronic systems have found their way into safety-critical applications. In the general public, however, awareness is rising of the inherent safety problems associated with computerised systems, and particularly with software. Taking the high and fast increasing complexity of control software into account, it is obvious that the problem of software dependability will likewise multiply.
