Verification of Reactive Systems: Formal Methods and Algorithms (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

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 othe r material Proves all theorems in detail Presents detailed algorithms in pseudo-code for verification as well as translations to other formalisms
