Nowadays, distributed systems are increasingly present, for public
software applications as well as critical systems. software
applications as well as critical systems. This title and
Distributed Systems: Design and Algorithms – from the same
editors – introduce the underlying concepts, the associated
design techniques and the related security issues.
The objective of this book is to describe the state of the art of
the formal methods for the analysis of distributed systems.
Numerous issues remain open and are the topics of major research
projects. One current research trend consists of profoundly mixing
the design, modeling, verification and implementation stages. This
prototyping-based approach is centered around the concept of model
refinement.
This book is more specifically intended for readers that wish to
gain an overview of the application of formal methods in the design
of distributed systems. Master’s and Ph D students, as well as
engineers in industry, will find a global understanding of the
techniques as well as references to the most up-to-date works in
this area.
