This monograph on the verification of standards and
specifications applied in information technology
covers a lesser-researched but vital aspect of
standards and specification development
methodologies.
The book has undertaken a thorough review and study
of the application of formal testing methodologies to
the verification of standards and specifications and
describes in detail how these approaches can improved
the quality of computer networking and electronic
healthcare. Using the ubiquitous "FireWire" computer
device networking standard, the ISO/IEEE 1073
standard for connecting electronic medical devices
and the popular "Health Level 7" healthcare data
exchange standard as examples, the book demonstrates
that rigorous formal verification of the standards
and specifications can uncover previously unknown
flaws and shortcomings, so enabling improvements in
computer networking and medical care. This book fills
a gap in the research and application of standards
and specifications methods and is recommended to
anyone undertaking development work in this area.
