Modeling and Analysis of Communicating Systems

Contact

Lecturer

Mohammad Mousavi


Objectives

On completion of the course students will be able to

  • Know concept of behavioural specification (Knowledge)
  • Know concept of behavioural equivalence (Knowledge)
  • Know how to specify logical properties (in temporal logics and modal mu-calculus) (Knowledge)

Manually reason about simple systems (both equationally, and using the semantics of logics) (Application)

  • Specify the behaviour of embedded systems or communication protocols (Application)
  • Verify specification satisfies its requirements (Application)

Assessment

Assessment is performed in terms of a short paper and a practical project.
