Modeling and Verification of Real-time Systems Formalisms and Software Tools

This title is devoted to presenting some of the most importantconcepts and techniques for describing real-time systems andanalyzing their behavior in order to enable the designer to achieveguarantees of temporal correctness. Topics addressed include mathematical models of real-timesystems and associated formal verification techniques such as modelchecking, probabilistic modeling and verification, programming anddescription languages, and validation approaches based on testing.With contributions from authors who are experts in their respectivefields, this will provide the reader with the state of the art informal verification of real-time systems and an overview ofavailable software tools.
