Publisher's Synopsis
Developers of safety-critical systems and software lack methods for developing high quality real-time systems. The impact that these systems have on the quality and safety of human lives (for example in air traffic control systems and such like) give rise to a demand for rigorous approaches such as formal methods.;Focusing on formal methods this book offers a complete coverage of new developments with emphasis on practical application. Starting with a survey of formal methods for real-time systems, topics include programme specification, formal methods, analyzing and design of real-time systems. The book is useful reading for developers of safety critical systems and researchers in the field.
