Abstract

The software industry stands on feet of clay. However carefully we may strive to build correct and reliable software, we have no way of guaranteeing the quality of the result. Building correct and reliable software depends on the quality of so much else, from the hardware and the operating system to the compiler and the runtime libraries. And any significant software system has so many details and components of its own that we can hardly expect to get everything right if we do it all by ourselves. We describe an ambitious but realistic project that combines the ideas of reuse and formality with other more pragmatic techniques. The goal is to provide the entire software industry with a powerful set of reusable components deserving a high degree of trust.
