Embedded software is ubiquitous today and this book presents the state-of-the art-in the design of safety-critical, embedded software in a single reference. It is an invaluable reference for those concerned with improving the product development life-cycle.

Providing a wide variety of technologies for ensuring the safety and dependability of cyber-physical systems (CPS), this book offers a comprehensive introduction to the architecture-centric modeling, analysis, and verification of CPS.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering, SETTA 2022, held in Beijing, China, in October 2022.The 11 full papers and 3 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions, and are presented with 3 abstracts of keynote speeches. They deal with latest research results and ideas on bridging the gap between formal methods and software engineering.
