So, like Delaware?

Like iterate ( https://common-lisp.net/project/iterate/ )

For automotive software the ISO 26262 is the equivalent to RTCA DO-178 in avionics. ISO 26262 highly recommends that ASIL C and D-classified systems utilize semiformal and formal v…

That is because the formal method supplement of the DO-178C is RTCA DO-333. There you have about a hundred pages concerned with the application of formal methods.

And what the OPAL functional language [1] did since the mid 80s. Though the concept there is expanded from simple reference counting by additional static analysis during compile ti…

No, a domain-consistent all-different propagator such as the one desccribed in [1] is sufficient to determine a valuation domain for a Sudoku puzzle without any search. Of course t…

Yes, but even better there is the global constraint geost [1] which is specifically for this purpose in k-dimensions; see also [2] for a more detailed presentation. Unfortunately, …

The DO-178B/C explicitly does not specify how verification is done but describes the properties that are expected of the verification evidences that you submit to the certification…

Sure you can do however, since Ruby allows destructive updates, why not use one of the established/traditional imperative data structures and then apply techniques to make them "pe…

Well, not my area, but a little googling brought up this: http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/cellier/MS/andres_ms.pdf (well, there goes my evening). I don't know, but I find the decom…

Well, since both are implementations of the Modelica standard I would guess they are pretty much the same, though I do not know MapleSim or your problems with it.

This is simply a different view to model systems such as can be done in Simulink. Simulink has a (differential) equation-centric view whereas Modelica (of which SystemModeller is a…
