Description

This title presents some of the most important concepts and techniques for describing and modeling real-time systems and analyzing their behavior in order to enable hardware and embedded software designers to create systems that will operate as intended in a real-world environment.
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.
