At the dawn of the 21st century and the information age,
communication and c- puting power are becoming ever increasingly
available, virtually pervading almost every aspect of modern
socio-economical interactions. Consequently, the potential for
realizing a signi?cantly greater number of technology-mediated
activities has emerged. Indeed, many of our modern activity ?elds
are heavily dependant upon various underlying systems and
software-intensive platforms. Such technologies are commonly used
in everyday activities such as commuting, traf?c control and m-
agement, mobile computing, navigation, mobile communication. Thus,
the correct function of the forenamed computing systems becomes a
major concern. This is all the more important since, in spite of
the numerous updates, patches and ?rmware revisions being
constantly issued, newly discovered logical bugs in a wide range of
modern software platforms (e. g. , operating systems) and
software-intensive systems (e. g. , embedded systems) are just as
frequently being reported. In addition, many of today's products
and services are presently being deployed in a highly competitive
environment wherein a product or service is succeeding in most of
the cases thanks to its quality to price ratio for a given set of
features. Accordingly, a number of critical aspects have to be
considered, such as the ab- ity to pack as many features as needed
in a given product or service while c- currently maintaining high
quality, reasonable price, and short time -to- market.
