Trust by design -- in praise of modularization: a case study (opens in new tab)

Ensuring that collective adaptive systems remain safe, reliable, and trustworthy requires measures that transcend so far established formal methods, and in particular established verification techniques. In this contribution, we suggest three such measures: (1) conceptual means: runs with locally confined cause and effect of events, (2) temporal logic like verification techniques that respect and exploit such runs, (3) composing system propertie...
