Abstract:Assurance cases provide an organized and explicit argument for correctness. They can dramatically improve the certification of Scientific Computing Software (SCS). Assurance cases have already been effectively used for safety cases for real time systems. Their advantages for SCS include engaging domain experts, producing only necessary documentation, and providing evidence that can be verified/replicated. This paper illustrates assurance cases for SCS through the correctness case for 3dfim+, an existing Medica… Show more
