Modeling and Verification of Real-time Systems 
Formalisms and Software Tools

This title is devoted to presenting some of the most important
concepts and techniques for describing real-time systems and
analyzing their behavior in order to enable the designer to achieve
guarantees of temporal correctness.

Topics addressed include mathematical models of real-time
systems and associated formal verification techniques such as model
checking, probabilistic modeling and verification, programming and
description languages, and validation approaches based on testing.
With contributions from authors who are experts in their respective
fields, this will provide the reader with the state of the art in
formal verification of real-time systems and an overview of
available software tools.
