Overview

This is an introductory book on the modal and temporal properties of processes. In a clear and well-organized treatment the book provides an introduction to:-process calculi for modeling concurrent systems-modal properties of systems and bisimulation equivalence presented in terms of games-temporal properties of systems-modal mu-calculus as a general purpose temporal logic-verification techniques for showing temporal properties of systems, including verification as a game; model checking in terms of game-theoretic algorithms; tablaux as unwindings of successful strategies; compositional verification, especially in the case of infinite systems. The use of games for both equivalence and model checking is conceptually clearer than other approaches and the book's well-thought-out structure and illuminating examples make this book well-suited for and advanced undergraduate or graduate level course in model checking or formal methods of verification.
