商品描述

This textbook gives students a comprehensive introduction to formal methods and their application in software and hardware specification and verification. It has three parts: The first part introduces some fundamentals in formal methods, including set theory, functions, finite state machines, and regular expressions. The second part focuses on logic, a powerful formal language in specifying systems properties. It is composed of four chapters: propositional logic, predicate logic, temporal logic, and model checking. The third part presents the most popular formal language in system behavior modeling, Petri nets. It has three chapters: Petri nets, timed Petri nets and high-level Petri nets.
