The tool provides complete information about the formal methodsadopted in the conventional or model-based approach, in the various phases of the software developmentlife cycle process, list of tools using formal techniques with their version and published literaturesupporting formal methods. This knowledge-database serves as a live encyclopedia which will enable theengineers and researchers interested in the field of formal methods. The database is intelligent because itprovides the user with the flexibility of searching the formal method related information using keywordsimilar to the search engine. This is a unique tool for formal methods encompassing most of the publishedliterature with intelligent search options.
