In its more general definition, the term formal methods encompasses all notations having a precise mathematical semantics, together with their associated analysis methods, that allow description and reasoning about the behavior of a system in a formal manner.  \u003cp\u003eGrowing out of more than a decade of award-winning collaborative work within the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, \u003ci\u003eFormal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems: A Survey of Applications\u003c\/i\u003e presents a number of mainstream formal methods currently used for designing industrial critical systems, with a focus on model checking. The purpose of the book is threefold: to reduce the effort required to learn formal methods, which has been a major drawback for their industrial dissemination; to help designers to adopt the formal methods which are most appropriate for their systems; and to offer a panel of state-of-the-art techniques and tools for analyzing critical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTEFANIA GNESI\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Research and head of the Formal Methods and Tools Laboratory at ISTI-CNR (Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione-Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) in Pisa, Italy.
