The Requirements Engineering Reference Model: A Fundamental Impediment to Using Formal Methods in Software Systems Development

This talk attempts to explain why formal methods are not being used to develop large-scale software-intensive computer-based system by appealing to the Reference Model for Requirements and Specifications by Gunter, Gunter, Jackson, and Zave.

Jean-Michel Bruel, IRIT, University of Toulouse, France:
