  Intent Specifications: An Approach to Building Human-Centered Specifications
Leveson N. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 26(1): 15-35, 2000.  Type: Article

Specifications must be understood because each is a contract between a programmer and his or her client (according to Carroll Morgan). Although precise specifications tell us how, and abstract ones tell us what, these may not be enough...

  Completeness and Consistency in Hierarchical State-Based Requirements
Heimdahl M., Leveson N. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 22(6): 363-377, 1996.  Type: Article

The authors have revised and extended their excellent paper from the 1995 International Conference on Software Engineering. It describes the automatic validation and verification of a software requirements specification (SRS) of a nont...

  Software Requirements Analysis for Real-Time Process-Control Systems
Jaffe M., Leveson N., Heimdahl M., Melhart B. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 17(3): 241-258, 1991.  Type: Article

The authors discuss a set of criteria useful for the detection of errors in the requirements specification of real-time process-control systems. The criteria are based on an abstract state-machine model and defined formally using first...

  Analysis of Faults in an N-Version Software Experiment
Brilliant S., Knight J., Leveson N. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 16(2): 238-247, 1990.  Type: Article

In this experiment, 27 versions of a program, all produced by different programmers, were given one million randomly produced sets of input data and their reactions were compared, with special regard to the use of the different version...

  The Use of Self Checks and Voting in Software Error Detection: An Empirical Study
Leveson N., Cha S., Knight J., Shimeall T. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 16(4): 432-443, 1990.  Type: Article

This unusually clear and honest paper deals with an experiment designed to compare the effectiveness of self-checking facilities to that of N-version voting. The experiment studied 27 small avionics programs (350–900 lines of...
