Woodcock %J FM 2009: Formal Methods %T Industrial Practice in Formal Methods: a Review %X We examine the the industrial application of formal methods using data gathered in a review of 62 projects taking place over the last 25 years. The review suggests that formal methods are being applied in a wide range of application domains, with increasingly strong tool support. Significant challenges remain in providing usable tools that can be integrated into established development processes; in education and training; in taking formal methods from first use to second use, and in gathering and evidence to support informed selection of methods and tools. %V LNCS 5 %D 2009 %R ISBN: 978-3-642-05088-6 %I Springer-Verlag %L deploy160
