About the Book

This book provides a detailed account of real-time systems, including program structures for real-time, phases development analysis, and formal specification and verification methods of reactive systems.Real-Time and Multi-Agent Systems brings together the 3 key fields of current and future data-processing:- Distributed systems and applications;- Parallel scientific computing;- Real-time and manufacturing systems.It covers the basic concepts and theories, methods, techniques and tools currently used in the specification and implementation of applications and contains lots of examples as well as complete case studies.
