Index.
- New chapters covering program verification and logical properties.
- More student exercises.
- Supporting website contains an updated version of the LTSA tool for modelling concurrency, model animation, and model checking.
- Website also includes the full set of state models, java examples, and demonstration programs and a comprehensive set of overhead slides for course presentation.
- Offers an essential explanation of the concepts, techniques, and problems of concurrency, an area of software design that is useful in a wide range of applications
- Examines why concurrency programming is complex and demands a much more formal approach than sequential programming
- Accessible descriptions and examples illuminate problem patterns, and associated solution approaches help readers harness LTS modeling techniques (accessible on the accompanying Web site)
"I love this book! It is beautifully written and the combined FSP/Java approach to model-based development is leading-edge. The supporting materials, including the LTSA software and the lecture slides, are superb."
