This is an introductory book on the modal and temporal properties of processes.In a clear and wellorganized treatment the book provides an introduction toprocess calculi for modeling concurrent systemsmodal properties of systems andbisimulation equivalence presented in terms of gamestemporal properties ofsystemsmodal mucalculus as a general purpose temporal logicverificationtechniques for showing temporal properties of systems including verificationas a game model checking in terms of gametheoretic algorithms tablaux asunwindings of successful strategies compositional verification especially inthe case of infinite systems. The use of games for both equivalence and modelchecking is conceptually clearer than other approaches and the books wellthoughtout structure and illuminating examples make this book wellsuited forand advanced undergraduate or graduate level course in model checking or formalmethods of verification. «
