From Programs to Systems - The Systems Perspective in Computing
Description
Joseph Sifakis is an active and visionary researcher in the area of system design. He believes that endowing design with scientific foundations is at least of equal importance as the quest for scientific truth in natural sciences. Previously, he has worked on Petri nets, concurrent systems, program semantics, verification, embedded systems, real-time systems, and formal methods more generally. The book contains 18 papers covering various topics related to the extension of programming theory to systems.
