Deployment of Formal Methods in Industry: the Legacy of the FP7 ICT DEPLOY Integrated Project

Abstract

The work of the major EU-funded ICT DEPLOY Integrated Project (February 2008 – April 2012) on Industrial Deployment of Advanced System Engineering Methods for High Productivity and Dependability was driven by the tasks of achieving and evaluating industrial take-up, initially by DEPLOY industrial partners, of DEPLOY methods and tools, together with the necessary further research on methods and tools. Our previous SEN paper introduced the project. The project has been one of the most significant efforts focusing on understanding the issues researchers and engineers face during the deployment of formal methods. This paper briefly reports on the project legacy and provides pointers to the various sources of information produced by the projects.
