It's called Universal Systems Language. One of the founders of software engineering also was a pioneer in high-assurance toolkits. A NASA engineer's review showed the tool to have serious usability and performance issues. However, she and her team should get credit for solving the hard problems with a tool that at least worked for some people. It's also written in itself.

Edit: The book you mention is on Amazon for $6 now. Ill buy a copy for historical inspiration if its contents go into detail with examples of applying her method to at least toy problems.



It's like it went into its own bubble universe. Cheers.

As for the book, I don't know if I can recommend it. I've only ever seen a copy one other time, to check if it mentions Hamilton (it does, in some end notes) and I can't say it lived up to my memories of the first exposure. I can't even say how much of it is actually original to J. Martin and how much is strictly Dr. Hamilton's.
