Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book is a solid foundation of the most important formalisms used for specification and verification of reactive systems. In particular, the text presents all important results on m-calculus, w-automata, and temporal logics, shows the relationships between these formalisms and describes state-of-the-art verification procedures for them. It also discusses advantages and disadvantages of these formalisms, and shows up their strengths and weaknesses. Most results are given with detailed proofs, so that the presentation is almost self-contained.
Includes all definitions without relying on other material
Proves all theorems in detail
Presents detailed algorithms in pseudo-code for verification as well as translations to other formalisms
