Reactive systems: modelling, specification and verification
Aceto L., Ingólfsdóttir A., Larsen K., Srba J., Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2007. 300 pp. Type: Book (9780521875462), Reviews: (2 of 2)
Reactive systems are systems whose behavior is not described algorithmically (by a relation between inputs and outputs), but rather by the way they continuously interact with the environment. The authors present and use some process ca...
