The name "temporal logic" may sound complex and daunting; but while
they describe potentially complex scenarios, temporal logics are
often based on a few simple, and fundamental, concepts -
highlighted in this book. An Introduction to Practical Formal
Methods Using Temporal Logic provides an introduction to formal
methods based on temporal logic, for developing and testing complex
computational systems. These methods are supported by many
well-developed tools, techniques and results that can be applied to
a wide range of systems. Fisher begins with a full introduction to
the subject, covering the basics of temporal logic and using a
variety of examples, exercises and pointers to more advanced work
to help clarify and illustrate the topics discussed. He goes on to
describe how this logic can be used to specify a variety of
computational systems, looking at issues of linking specifications,
concurrency, communication and composition ability. He then
analyses temporal specification techniques such as deductive
verification, algorithmic verification, and direct execution to
develop and verify computational systems. The final chapter on case
studies analyses the potential problems that can occur in a range
of engineering applications in the areas of robotics, railway
signalling, hardware design, ubiquitous computing, intelligent
agents, and information security, and explains how temporal logic
can improve their accuracy and reliability. * Models temporal
notions and uses them to analyze computational systems * Provides a
broad approach to temporal logic across many formal methods -
including specification, verification and implementation *
Introduces and explains freely available tools based on temporal
logics and shows how these can be applied * Presents exercises and
pointers to further study in each chapter, as well as an
accompanying website providing links to additional systems based
upon temporal logic as well as additional material related to the
book.
