Sommario/riassunto

This book helps readers easily learn basic model checking by presenting examples, exercises and case studies. The toolset mCRL2 provides a language to specify the behaviour of distributed systems, in particular where there is concurrency with inter-process communication. This language allows us to analyse a distributed system with respect to its functional requirements. For example, biological cells, supply chain management systems, patient support platforms, and communication protocols. The underlying technique is based on verifying requirements through model checking. The book explains the syntax of mCRL2 and offers modelling tips and tricks.
