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:
“I am convinced that ... we have reestablished confidence. Wages should remain stable. A very large degree of industrial unemployment and suffering which would otherwise have occurred has been prevented.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“I learned from my two years’ experience that it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain one’s necessary food, even in this latitude; that a man may use as simple a diet as the animals, and yet retain health and strength.... Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
