Summary for Week 3

• Lecture 5 and 6:In these two lectures we covered the model checking and several examples of properties in CTL*. We discussed two fragments of CTL* called CTL and LTL. Dates:Mon, 9/16/02 and Wed, 9/18/02.
  Suggested reading:
  1. Your should read the the relevant chapters from the Clarke-Grumberg-Peled book. It covers the semantics of CTL* in much more detail and has several other examples.
  2. There is a very nice paper about specification patterns by Dwyer, Avrunin, and Corbett. The paper can be found here.
• Lecture 7: We started looking at a real model checker NuSMV. Initially, we covered a small semaphore example. The code for the semaphore example can be found here. The lectures were based on the following document.
  Date: Fri, 9/20/02.
