Abstract
Omnibus is a new system for the development of reliable Object- Oriented software. It includes a clean language that is superficially similar to Java but removes aspects that particularly complicate verification. Integrated support is provided for run-time assertion checking, extended static checking and full formal verification. The language is supported by a prototype IDE with a type checker, Java code generator, HTML documentation generator and a range of verifiers. This paper presents the case for Omnibus, gives an overview of the language and tools and discusses its relationship to dependable systems development.
