TL;DR: A unified approach to program verification is suggested, which applies to both sequential and parallel programs, and the main proof method is that of temporal reasoning in which the time dependence of events is the basic concept.
Abstract: A unified approach to program verification is suggested, which applies to both sequential and parallel programs. The main proof method suggested is that of temporal reasoning in which the time dependence of events is the basic concept. Two formal systems are presented for providing a basis for temporal reasoning. One forms a formalization of the method of intermittent assertions, while the other is an adaptation of the tense logic system Kb, and is particularly suitable for reasoning about concurrent programs.
TL;DR: In this article, a multiaxis classification of temporal and modal logic is presented, and the formal syntax and semantics for two representative systems of propositional branching-time temporal logics are described.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses temporal and modal logic. The chapter describes a multiaxis classification of systems of temporal logic. The chapter describes the framework of linear temporal logic. In both its propositional and first-order forms, linear temporal logic has been widely employed in the specification and verification of programs. The chapter describes the competing framework of branching temporal logic, which has seen wide use. It also explains how temporal logic structures can be used to model concurrent programs using non-determinism and fairness. The chapter also discusses other modal and temporal logics in computer science. The chapter describes the formal syntax and semantics of Propositional Linear Temporal Logic (PLTL). The chapter also describes the formal syntax and semantics for two representative systems of propositional branching-time temporal logics.
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to automatically synthesize the synchronization skeleton of a concurrent program from a Temporal Logic specification and it is believed that this approach may in the long run turn out to be quite practical.
Abstract: We have shown that it is possible to automatically synthesize the synchronization skeleton of a concurrent program from a Temporal Logic specification We believe that this approach may in the long run turn out to be quite practical Since synchronization skeletons are, in general, quite small, the potentially exponential behavior of our algorithm need not be an insurmountable obstacle Much additional research will be needed, however, to make the approach feasible in practice
