Automated Verification of Computational Systems
It was realized in the 1960s that mathematical logic provides a suitable language to formulate properties of programs. This idea was formalized by Hoare who developed Hoare logic as a means to prove program correctness. However, this technique didn't apply directly to concurrent programs. An alternative approach called Temporal Logic was proposed by Amir Pneuli in 1977 which did provide a means to reason about concurrent programs. This topic studies this and then delves into the fundamental ideas behind model checking.
Required Background: Basics of computer science at the level of CS 146, Logic at the level of CS 245.
