Condition

VERY GOOD: This book is in excellent condition, showing only slight signs of use and wear. It was printed on acid-free paper.

Product Details

Continued from the back cover: "The book covers the main phases of the life cycle of design and implementation of a system, i.e., specification, model checking techniques for verification, analysis of properties, code generation, and execution of models. These techniques and their tool support are discussed in detail including practical issues. Amongst others, fundamental concepts such as composition, abstraction, and reusability of melds, model verification, and verification of properties are systematically introduced."
