Modeling and Analysis of Communicating Systems - Edition 2014

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