Understanding Behaviour Of Distributed Systems Using Mcrl2

Understanding Behaviour of Distributed Systems Using mCRL2

This book helps readers easily learn basic model checking by presenting examples, exercises and case studies. The toolset mCRL2 provides a language to specify the behaviour of distributed systems, in particular where there is concurrency with inter-process communication. This language allows us to analyse a distributed system with respect to its functional requirements. For example, biological cells, supply chain management systems, patient support platforms, and communication protocols. The underlying technique is based on verifying requirements through model checking. The book explains the syntax of mCRL2 and offers modelling tips and tricks.

Coordination Models and Languages

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Coordination Models and Language, COORDINATION 2024, held in Groningen, The Netherlands, in June 2024, as part of the 19th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2024. The 8 full papers, 7 tool papers, 1 short paper and 1 survey paper included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. This conference provides a well-established forum for the growing community of researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and implementation techniques for coordination.
