Main Research Question: How can we combine the strengths of model-based software engineering and Ada programming to develop safety-critical systems more efficiently?

Methodology: The researchers used the AutoFocus modeling language and framework, which is known for its simplicity and power. They developed a model-based validation toolset that supports various levels of formal validation techniques, including prototyping, simulation, test case/test sequence generation, and model checking.

Results: The researchers demonstrated that by combining the application domain-oriented abstract models with a well-accepted Ada-based implementation and test setting, they could create a more efficient process for developing safety-critical systems. They also addressed the issue of gaining trust in model- and code-generation-based techniques.

Implications: This approach allows for a more efficient development of safety-critical systems by combining the strengths of model-based software engineering and Ada programming. It also provides a way to tackle the issue of gaining trust in model- and code-generation-based techniques.
