Microprocessor-based systems are increasingly used to control safety-critical systems (e.g., air and railway traffic control, nuclear plant control, aircraft and car control). In t...
Many safety-related systems are built from generic software which is customised to work in a particular situation by static configuration data. Examples of such systems are railwa...

Embedded systems require control of many concurrent real-time activities, leading to system designs which feature multiple hardware peripherals with each providing a specific, ded...
This article presents a control flow analysis methodology based on UML 2.0 sequence diagrams (SD). In contrast to the conventional code-based control flow analysis techniques, thi...
