State space methods are one of the most important approaches to computer-aided analysis
and verification of the behaviour of concurrent systems. In their basic form, they consist of …

The automata-theoretic approach to linear temporal logic uses the theory of automata as a
unifying paradigm for program specification, verification, and synthesis. Both programs and …

In control theory, complex models of physical processes, such as systems of differential or
difference equations, are usually checked against simple specifications, such as stability …

A foundational text that offers a rigorous introduction to the principles of design,
