Industrial Experience
VDM has been applied widely in a variety of application domains. The most well-known of these applications are:
- Ada and CHILL compilers: The first European validated Ada compiler was developed by DDC-International using VDM. Likewise the semantics of CHILL and Modula-2 were described in their standards using VDM.
- ConForm: An experiment at British Aerospace comparing the conventional development of a trusted gateway with a development using VDM.
- Dust-Expert: A project carried out by Adelard in the UK for a safety related application determining that the safety is appropriate in the layout of industrial plants.
- The development of VDMTools: Most components of the VDMTools tool suite are themselves developed using VDM. This development has been made at IFAD in Denmark and CSK in Japan.
- TradeOne: Certain key components of the TradeOne back-office system developed by CSK systems for the Japanese stock exchange were developed using VDM. Comparative measurements exist for developer productivity and defect density of the VDM-developed components versus the conventionally developed code.
- FeliCa Networks have reported the development of an operating system for an integrated circuit for cellular telephone applications.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or experience:
“Dead power is everywhere among us—in the forest, chopping down the songs; at night in the industrial landscape, wasting and stiffening the new life; in the streets of the city, throwing away the day. We wanted something different for our people: not to find ourselves an old, reactionary republic, full of ghost-fears, the fears of death and the fears of birth. We want something else.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Vices may be said to await us along the course of our lives like hosts with whom we lodge successively on a journey; and I doubt that experience would cause us to avoid them, if we could travel the same road twice.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
