Modeling and Verification of Real-time Systems Format: Hardcover

This title is devoted to presenting some of the most important concepts and techniques for describing real-time systems and analyzing their behavior in order to enable the designer to achieve guarantees of temporal correctness.

Topics addressed include mathematical models of real-time systems and associated formal verification techniques such as model checking, probabilistic modeling and verification, programming and description languages, and validation approaches based on testing. With contributions from authors who are experts in their respective fields, this will provide the reader with the state of the art in formal verification of real-time systems and an overview of available software tools.

Stephan Merz is a researcher at INRIA Lorraine (Nancy, France). He is interested in formal methods for the analysis and construction of reliable software systems, in particular temporal logic, refinement, and the automated and interactive verification of distributed systems.

Nicolas Navet is a researcher in Real-Time Systems at INRIA Lorraine (Nancy, France). His research interests include real-time scheduling, probalistic modeling and computational intelligence, with applications to automotive embedded systems and financial engineering.
