We are now starting to see the first applications of formal methods development safety-critical computer based systems. Discussion on what appropriate and tools is still intense, there no standard approach that presents a complete solution for such Some protagonists claim offer problems software development. Others little or use – at least their utility severely limited by cost applying techniques. The aim this paper try cast some light debate discuss from technico-philosophical viewpoint...

Problem frames are a systematic approach to the decomposition of problems that allows us relate requirements, domain properties, and machine specifications. Having decomposed problem, one solving it is through process composing solutions sub-problems. In This work, we contribute supporting such by providing way compose multiple problem frames. We develop inconsistent requirements. introduce composition frames, requirements construct models relevant aspects thus deals with unwanted effects,...

Open Educational Resources have emerged as important elements of education in the contemporary society, promoting life-long and personalized learning that transcends social, economic geographical barriers. To achieve potential OERs bring impact on education, it is necessary to increase their development supply. However, one current challenges how produce quality relevant be reused adapted different contexts situations. In this paper we proposed an agile method for - AM-OER, grounded...
