Description
As systems being developed by industry and government grow larger and more complex, the need for superior specification and verification
approaches and tools becomes increasingly vital. The developer and customer must have complete confidence that the design produced is
correct, and that it meets forma development and verification standards. In this text, UML expert author Dr. Doron Drusinsky compiles
all the latest information on the application of UML (Universal Modeling Language) statecharts, temporal logic, automata, and other advanced
tools for run-time monitoring and verification. This is the first book that deals specifically with UML verification techniques. This
important information is introduced within the context of real-life examples and solutions, particularly focusing on national defense
applications. A practical text, as opposed to a high-level theoretical one, it emphasizes getting the system developer up-to-speed on
using the tools necessary for daily practice.
