Temporal Logic - Understanding Reactive Systems

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Temporal logic is a powerful formal language for specifying and reasoning about the behavior of systems over time. It has been successfully applied in a wide range of domains, including reactive systems, concurrent systems, real-time systems, hybrid systems, probabilistic systems, game theory, and artificial intelligence.

In this book, we provide a comprehensive introduction to temporal logic, covering both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications of the logic. We start with the basics of propositional temporal logic and first-order temporal logic, and then move on to more advanced topics such as linear temporal logic, computation tree logic, hybrid logic, and probabilistic temporal logic.

We also discuss the use of temporal logic in the specification and verification of reactive systems, concurrent systems, real-time systems, hybrid systems, probabilistic systems, games, and artificial intelligence systems. We cover both model checking and theorem proving techniques, and provide numerous examples to illustrate the practical use of temporal logic.

This book is intended for a broad audience, including computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and philosophers. It is also suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates who are interested in learning about temporal logic and its applications.

We believe that this book will be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand and use temporal logic to specify and reason about the behavior of complex systems.

Ben Fogle

Sunday Times Bestseller
‘Passionate and well-researched’ Tatler
‘A must-read’ Independent
A social history of Labradors, and how they have become the world’s most beloved dogs, by writer, presenter and long-time dog lover Ben Fogle.
Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Not only a great family companion, they also excel at hunting, tracking, retrieving, guiding and rescuing. But where did the breed originally come from? How did it develop? When did black, yellow and chocolate Labradors first appear? Did they really all come from Labrador in Canada and are they really all related to just one dog?
In this first history of the Labrador, Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary companionship, intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved Inca.
Ben visits Canada, discovers hair-raising stories of early Labrador exploits and uncovers stories of RNIB Labradors and Labradors at war, Labradors as working dogs and every other manifestation of the Labrador’s character. Exploring their origin, early characteristics, their use as gun dogs, as therapy dogs, as police dogs, as search and rescue dogs and last – and absolutely not least – as family pets, Ben tells the story of a dog breed which has captured our imagination and love for hundreds of years.
This book by top author Ben Fogle is a comprehensive exploration of Labradors, the world's most beloved breed. As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Fogle's passion and knowledge shine through, making this book a must-read for all dog enthusiasts.

Signals from the Unknown: True...

Dr. Muddassir Saleem

For decades, scientists, military analysts, and independent researchers have reported unexplained signals originating from deep space—messages that defy conventional explanation. 
Signals from the Unknown investigates real-world cases of alleged extraterrestrial communication attempts, including mysterious radio transmissions, coded cosmic patterns, and unexplained electromagnetic anomalies. 
Drawing from declassified reports, scientific debates, and eyewitness accounts, this audiobook explores whether humanity has already received messages from intelligent life beyond Earth—and if so, why they remain unacknowledged. 
Are these signals random cosmic noise, advanced natural phenomena, or deliberate attempts at contact? 
This audiobook takes listeners into the intersection of science, speculation, and the enduring question of whether we are truly alone in the universe.

Cool - How Air Conditioning...

Salvatore Basile

"[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey." —San Francisco Book Review 
 
 
  
The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world's greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the "Apparatus for Treating Air," everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. 
 
 
  
In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.
