This book introduces behavioral modeling, a rigorous approach to behavioral specification and verification of concurrent and distributed systems. It is among the very few techniques capable of modeling systems interaction at a level of abstraction sufficient for the interaction to be understood and analyzed. Offering both a mathematically grounded theory and real-world applications, the book is suitable for classroom use and as a reference for system architects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book covers the foundation of behavioral modeling using process algebra, transition systems, abstract data types, and modal logics. Exercises and examples augment the theoretical discussion. The book introduces a modeling language, mCRL2, that enables concise descriptions of even the most intricate distributed algorithms and protocols. Using behavioral axioms and such proof methods as confluence, cones, and foci, readers will learn how to prove such algorithms equal to their specifications. Specifications in mCRL2 can be simulated, visualized, or verified against their requirements. An extensive mCRL2 toolset for mechanically verifying the requirements is freely available online; this toolset has been successfully used to design and analyze industrial software that ranges from healthcare applications to particle accelerators at CERN. Appendixes offer material on equations and notation as well as exercise solutions.Preface xiii\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003cbr\u003eI Modeling 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003cbr\u003e2 Actions, Behavior, Equivalence, and Abstraction 7\u003cbr\u003e3 Data Types 33\u003cbr\u003e4 Sequential Processes 53\u003cbr\u003e5 Parallel Processes 69\u003cbr\u003e6 The Modal µ-calculus 85\u003cbr\u003e7 Modeling System Behavior 103\u003cbr\u003e8 Timed Process Behavior 121\u003cbr\u003eII Analysis 139\u003cbr\u003e9 Basic Manipulation of Processes 141\u003cbr\u003e10 Linear Process Equations and Linearization 167\u003cbr\u003e11 Confluence and τ-prioritization 189\u003cbr\u003e12 Cones and Foci 199\u003cbr\u003e13 Verification of Distributed Systems 213\u003cbr\u003e14 Verification of Modal Formulas Using Parameterized Boolean Equation Systems 241\u003cbr\u003eIII Semantics 259\u003cbr\u003e15 Semantics 261\u003cbr\u003eIV Appendixes 295\u003cbr\u003eA Brief Tool Primer 297\u003cbr\u003eB Equational Definition of Built-In Data Types 305\u003cbr\u003eC Plain-Text Notation 323\u003cbr\u003eD Syntax of the Formalisms 329\u003cbr\u003eE Axioms for Processes 337\u003cbr\u003eF Answers to Exercises 343\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 359Jan Friso Groote is Professor of Computer Science at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.\u003cbr\u003eMohammad Reza Mousavi is Professor of Computer Systems Engineering at the Center for Research on Embedded Systems at Halmstad University, Sweden.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299953332453,"sku":"NP9780262547871","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262547871.jpg?v=1767732857","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/modeling-and-analysis-of-communicating-systems-isbn-9780262547871","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
