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