Abstract
I am delighted and honoured to provide an introduction for this book, which documents a workshop held in Scotland in September 1991, to assess the state of formal methods technology. Although I was unfortunately unable to attend the meeting, I had attended its predecessor FM’89 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and my thoughts were very much with FM’91 while it was taking place; its topic seems as timely now as it did then, and the papers included here seem interesting and relevant.
