Temporal logic provides a formal language with which one can express time-dependent behaviours, facilitating rigorous reasoning about the sequential evolution of system states. This branch of ...

Amir Pnueli, who turned a philosopher's explorations of time, logic, and free will into a critical technique for verifying the reliability of computers, died on November 2 in Manhattan. He was 68. The ...

Automata theory and temporal logic together form a foundational pillar in the design and analysis of data processing systems. At its core, automata theory provides abstract models—ranging from finite ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of functional verification and model checking, highlighting their importance in modern system designs. It explains different modeling formalisms for ...

The goal of this topics course is to study the foundations of different types of logics used commonly in artificial intelligence. Logic forms the basis for many types of reasoning used by humans – ...
