Riguardo questo articolo

Hardcover. This is a systematic and comprehensive introduction both to compositional proof methods for the state-based verification of concurrent programs, such as the assumption-commitment and rely-guarantee paradigms, and to noncompositional methods, whose presentation culminates in an exposition of the communication-closed-layers (CCL) paradigm for verifying network protocols. Compositional concurrency verification methods reduce the verification of a concurrent program to the independent verification of its parts. If those parts are tightly-coupled, one additionally needs verification methods based on the causal order between events. These are presented using CCL. The semantic approach followed here allows a systematic presentation of all these concepts in a unified framework which highlights essential concepts. The book is self-contained, guiding the reader from advanced undergraduate level to the state-of-the-art. Every method is illustrated by examples, and a picture gallery of some of the subject's key figures complements the text.

Recensione

Review of the hardback: 'The present textbook is a highly welcome addition to the existing literature on program verification, particularly valuable for the well-arranged, methodically unified framework for a wealth of material.'
