DOWNLOAD EBOOKReactive systems are computing systems which are interactive, such as real-time systems, operating systems, concurrent systems, control systems, etc. They are among the most difficult computing systems to program. Temporal logic is a formal tool/language which yields excellent results in specifying reactive systems. This volume, the first of two, subtitled Specification, has a self-contained introduction to temporal logic and, more important, an introduction to the computational model for reactive programs, developed by Zohar Manna and Amir Pnueli of Stanford University and the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, respectively.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDaily life relies more and more on safety critical systems, e.g. in areas such as power plant control, traffic management, flight control, and many more. MOVEP is a school devoted to the broad subject of modeling and verifying software and hardware systems. This volume contains tutorials and annotated bibliographies covering the main subjects addressed at MOVEP 2000. The four tutorials deal with Model Checking, Theorem Proving, Composition and Abstraction Techniques, and Timed Systems. Three research papers give detailed views of High-Level Message Sequence Charts, Industrial Applications of Model Checking, and the use of Formal Methods in Security. Finally, four annotated bibliographies give an overview of Infinite State Space Systems, Testing Transition Systems, Fault-Model-Driven Test Derivation, and Mobile Processes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis Festschrift volume is published in honor of Bernhard Steffen, Professor at the Technical University of Dortmund, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. His vision as well as his theoretical and practical work span the development and implementation of novel, specific algorithms, and the establishment of cross-community relationships with the effect to obtain simpler, yet more powerful solutions. He initiated many new lines of research through seminal papers that pioneered various fields, starting with the Concurrency Workbench, a model checking toolbox that significantly influenced the research and development of mode based high assurance systems worldwide. The contributions in this volume reflect the breadth and impact of his work. The introductory paper by the volume editors, the 23 full papers and two personal statements relate to Bernhard’s research and life. This volume, the talks and the entire B-Day at ISoLA 2018 are a tribute to the first 30 years of Bernhard’s passion, impact and vision for many facets of computer science in general and for formal methods in particular. Impact and vision include the many roles that formal methods-supported software development should play in education, in industry and in society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Software Product Line Conference, SPLC 2004, held in Boston, MA, USA in August/September 2004. The 18 revised full technical papers presented together with a keynote abstract and summaries of panels, tutorials, and workshops were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Organized in sections on business, architecture, and quality assurance, the papers address topics ranging from how to start a software product line in a company, to case studies of mature product lines and the technology used, to test strategies of product lines, to strategies and notations for creating product line architectures, and to the importance of binding times in creating product lines.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHandbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up-to-date review of twenty-five key topics in knowledge representation, written by the leaders of each field. It includes a tutorial background and cutting-edge developments, as well as applications of Knowledge Representation in a variety of AI systems. This handbook is organized into three parts. Part I deals with general methods in Knowledge Representation and reasoning and covers such topics as classical logic in Knowledge Representation; satisfiability solvers; description logics; constraint programming; conceptual graphs; nonmonotonic reasoning; model-based problem solving; and Bayesian networks. Part II focuses on classes of knowledge and specialized representations, with chapters on temporal representation and reasoning; spatial and physical reasoning; reasoning about knowledge and belief; temporal action logics; and nonmonotonic causal logic. Part III discusses Knowledge Representation in applications such as question answering; the semantic web; automated planning; cognitive robotics; multi-agent systems; and knowledge engineering. This book is an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in knowledge representation and AI. * Make your computer smarter* Handle qualitative and uncertain information* Improve computational tractability to solve your problems easily
