[L2] ================================================ AMAST Links 02 03 Book: Theories and Experiences for Real-Time System Development Teodor Rus & Charles Rattray (Editors) AMAST Series in Computing, Volume 2, 1994, ISBN 981-02-1923-7 World Scientific, Singapore. 444 pages, price: US$ 86. Order information: see [AL0203S1]. _More info_ at URL: ftp://cs.uiowa.edu/pub/rus/Books/realtime.ps To consider the AMAST perspective on real-time systems, a first AMAST Workshop on Real-Time Systems was held in Iowa City, in November 1993. All the speakers were invited. All the authors had the opportunity to refine their papers as a result of the lively discussions that took place during the Workshop. A tangible product of this procedure is the present volume. The contents and authors are listed below. 1. Real-time system = discrete system + clock variables (R Alur & TA Henzinger) 2. Real-time CSP (J Davies & S Schneider) 3. Visual tools for verifying real-time systems (J S Ostroff) 4. Designing supervisors for real-time systems (D Ionescu) 5. Real-time symbolic model-checking (SV Campos & EM Clarke) 6. Verification of an audio control protocol (D Bosscher, I Pollak & F Vaandrager) 7. Approximations for verif. timing properties (H Wong-Toi & DL Dill) 8. A Timed Full LOTOS with Time/Action Tree Semantics (T Bolognesi & F Lucidi) 9. A Timed LOTOS extension (J Quemada, C Miguel, D deFrutos & L Llana) 10. Status-oriented telephone service spec. (B Stepien & L Logrippo) 11. Experimenting with LOTOS in the aerospace industry (H Garavel & RP Hautbois) 12. Performance analysis and true concurrency semantics (E Brinksma, JP Katoen, R Langerak & D Latella) 13. State machines, temporal logic and alg. data models (A Gabrielian) 14. An experiment in developing real-time systems using Mec (D Begay, J Dormoy & P Felix)
