The “lightweight formal methods” paradigm emphasises the use of abstract modelling as an aid to understanding and design of computer-based systems. It advocates careful targeting of formal methods technology on specific system parts or aspects, rather than large-scale application. The challenge of implementing the lightweight paradigm was taken up a decade ago by the community working with the Vienna Development Method (VDM), developing its semantics, tools and encouraging industry application. This paper reports industrial successes over that period, and identifies challenges for industrial formal methods application in the near future.
