Nowadays, distributed systems are increasingly present, for publicsoftware applications as well as critical systems. softwareapplications as well as critical systems. This title andDistributed Systems: Design and Algorithms - from the sameeditors - introduce the underlying concepts, the associateddesign techniques and the related security issues.
The objective of this book is to describe the state of the art ofthe formal methods for the analysis of distributed systems.Numerous issues remain open and are the topics of major researchprojects. One current research trend consists of profoundly mixingthe design, modeling, verification and implementation stages. Thisprototyping-based approach is centered around the concept of modelrefinement.
This book is more specifically intended for readers that wish togain an overview of the application of formal methods in the designof distributed systems. Master's and PhD students, as well asengineers in industry, will find a global understanding of thetechniques as well as references to the most up-to-date works inthis area.
