Abstract
One way of contributing to a demonstration that a medical device is acceptably safe is to show that the device satisfies a set of requirements known to mitigate hazards. This paper describes experience using formal techniques to model an IV infusion device and to prove that the modelled device captures a set of requirements. The requirements chosen for the study are based on a draft proposal developed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A major contributor to device related errors are (user) interaction errors. For this reason the chosen models and requirements focus on user interface related issues.

Abstract
The Proceedings of the ACM (PACM) was initiated by ACM in 2015 as overarching framework for publishing high quality computer science research. The goal for these new journals is to provide an alternate journal publication model for rigorous research papers that have traditionally been presented at major ACM conferences. PACM titles cross multiple intellectual communities, and each separate PACM is designed to represent a broad, but consistent, reach area. This is the first issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human Computer Interaction (PACMHCI), which represents the varied topics and communities that compose the broader study of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The rich heterogeneity of this field can be expressed as deep ethnographies of information use in context, to experiments showing the effectiveness of interface designs, to the production of new technologies that push the limits of how we interact with computers, and much more. The production of PACMHCI will focus on content associated with major research communities that are supported by the ACM Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). Individual issues will be largely associated with separate research communities, who may then also select papers from the issue for presentation at their major conferences. These research communities provide the volunteers and editors necessary to provide the rigorous review and editorial process that will define this journal. Those editors will serve on the overall board for ACMHCI, to help bridge our diverse communities. Leveraging our research communities allows us to provide high-quality reviewing while maintaining the quick processing of work that is important in this quickly moving field. This inaugural issue of PACMHCI represents work from the Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS) community. EICS gathers researchers that aim to improve the ways we build interactive systems. Building interactive systems is a multi-faceted and challenging activity, involving a plethora of different actors and roles. This is particularly true in the domain of HCI, where we continuously push the edge of what is possible, where there is a crucial need for adequate processes, tools and methods to build reliable, useful and usable systems that help people cope with the ever-increasing complexity of work and life. The primary goal of the EICS research community is to create novel and high quality contributions in this direction. Although there are only three articles in this first issue, our pipeline for future issues is promising. In the first submission cycle, 41 papers were submitted and, of those, 22 were asked for major revisions. We expect a good number of those 22 papers to be ultimately accepted over the coming months. We are grateful to our newly-formed Editorial Board consisting of more than 70 experts for lending their support and knowledge to the new journal.

Abstract
One part of demonstrating that a device is acceptably safe, often required by regulatory standards, is to show that it satisfies a set of requirements known to mitigate hazards. This paper is concerned with how to demonstrate that a user interface software design is compliant with use-related safety requirements. A methodology is presented based on the use of formal methods technologies to provide guidance to developers about addressing three key verification challenges: 1) how to validate a model, and show that it is a faithful representation of the device; 2) how to formalize requirements given in natural language, and demonstrate the benefits of the formalization process; and 3) how to prove requirements of a model using readily available formal verification tools. A model of a commercial device is used throughout the paper to demonstrate the methodology. A representative set of requirements are considered. They are based on US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) draft documentation for programmable medical devices, and on best practice in user interface design illustrated in relevant international standards. The methodology aims to demonstrate how to achieve the FDA's agenda of using formal methods to support the approval process for medical devices.

Abstract
This chapter explores a layered approach to the analysis of the Nuclear Power Plant Control System described in Chap. 4. A model is specified to allow the analysis of use-centred properties based on generic templates. User interface properties include the visibility of state attributes, the clarity of the mode structure and the ease with which an action can be recovered from. Property templates are used as heuristics to ease the construction of requirements for the control system interface. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

Abstract
The paper describes the practical use of a model checking technique to contribute to the risk analysis of a new paediatric dialysis machine. The formal analysis focuses on one component of the system, namely the table-driven software controller which drives the dialysis cycle and deals with error management. The analysis provided evidence of the verification of risk control measures relating to the software component. The paper describes the productive dialogue between the developers of the device, who had no experience or knowledge of formal methods, and an analyst who had experience of using the formal analysis tools. There were two aspects to this dialogue. The first concerned the translation of safety requirements so that they preserved the meaning of the requirement. The second involved understanding the relationship between the software component under analysis and the broader concern of the system as a whole. The paper focuses on the process, highlighting how the team recognised the advantages over a more traditional testing approach.

Abstract
Applying model-based testing to interactive systems enables the systematic testing of the system by automatically simulating user actions on the user interface. It reduces the cost of (expensive) user testing by identifying implementations errors without the involvement of human users, but raises a number of specific challenges, such as how to achieve good coverage of the actual use of the system during the testing process. This paper describes TOM, a model-based testing framework that uses a combination of tools and mutation testing techniques to maximize testing of user interface behaviors.
