Sommario/riassunto

Voici le journal de bord du capitaine Emile Coquibus (1874-1915) tenu tout au long de ses campagnes en Guinee et au Haut Senegal et Niger. Entre 1901-1910, son temoignage et ses photographies constituent une source inedite et traduisent les bouleversements culturels et sensoriels vecus par cet officier de la  Coloniale  : le vertige de la decouverte d'un continent et de ses peuples, l'apre realite des missions de terrain, voire la desillusion, a rebours de l'imaginaire vante par la propagande metropolitaine. (De nombreuses photographies d'epoque).

Sommario/riassunto

A formal method is not the main engine of a development process, its contribution is to improve system dependability by motivating formalisation where useful. This book summarizes the results of the DEPLOY research project on engineering methods for dependable systems through the industrial deployment of formal methods in software development. The applications considered were in automotive, aerospace, railway, and enterprise information systems, and microprocessor design.   The project introduced a formal method, Event-B, into several industrial organisations and built on the lessons learned to provide an ecosystem of better tools, documentation and support to help others to select and introduce rigorous systems engineering methods. The contributing authors report on these projects and the lessons learned. For the academic and research partners and the tool vendors, the project identified improvements required in the methods and supporting tools, while the industrial partners learned about the value of formal methods in general. A particular feature of the book is the frank assessment of the managerial and organisational challenges, the weaknesses in some current methods and supporting tools, and the ways in which they can be successfully overcome.   The book will be of value to academic researchers, systems and software engineers developing critical systems, industrial managers, policymakers, and regulators.
