This book introduces state-of-the-art verification techniques for real-time embedded systems, based on the inverse method for parametric timed automata. It reviews popular formalisms for the specification and verification of timed concurrent systems and, in particular, timed automata as well as several extensions such as timed automata equipped with stopwatches, linear hybrid automata and affine hybrid automata.The inverse method is introduced, and its benefits for guaranteeing robustness in real-time systems are shown. Then, it is shown how an iteration of the inverse method can solve the good parameters problem for parametric timed automata by computing a behavioral cartography of the system. Different extensions are proposed particularly for hybrid systems and applications to scheduling problems using timed automata with stopwatches. Various examples, both from the literature and industry, illustrate the techniques throughout the book.Various parametric verifications are performed, in particular of abstractions of a memory circuit sold by the chipset manufacturer ST-Microelectronics, as well as of the prospective flight control system of the next generation of spacecraft designed by ASTRIUM Space Transportation.

"Betriebswirtschaftslehre humoris causa" wirft Probleme auf, die einen schon immer beschaftigt haben oder an die man noch nie gedacht hatte, z. B. die Probleme der Vampire mit erneuerbaren Ressourcen oder das strategische Weihnachtskartenmanagement und vieles andere mehr. Ein ideales, geistreiches Geschenk."

Geld stinkt nicht, genausowenig wie die Betriebswirtschaft. Es hat eher einen suss-sauren haut-gout. Suss, wenn man es geniessen kann ("Were in the money.") sauer, wenn es (noch) fehlt und alle (?) Vorhaben und Freuden verhindert. Geld macht allerdings nicht glucklich. Vor allem, wenn es sich um das Geld der anderen handelt, wie Georg Bernhard Shaw beobachtet hat. Dieses Buch ist das Gegenteil von solchem Geld. Es soll dem Leser gluckliche Stunden bereiten mit Sinn und Unsinn, Humor und Satire als Raritaten in der (Betriebs-)Wirtschaft.
