Reliability, Quality and Safety of Software-Intensive Systems IFIP TC5 WG5.4 3rd International Conference on Reliability, Quality and Safety of Software-Intensive Systems (ENCRESS ’97), 29th–30th May 1997, Athens, Greece / by Dimitris Gritzalis.

It is, indeed, widely acceptable today that nowhere is it more important to focus on the improvement of software quality than in the case of systems with requirements in the areas of safety and reliability - especially for distributed, real-time and embedded systems. Thus, much research work is unde...
