If the number of students is small, the course is passed by solving many enough weekly exercise problems. Otherwise there will be an examination. |
Learning Outcomes
The student can read scientific literature on model checking and on Petri nets. (S)he can model concurrent systems and knows the basic correctness properties and verification methods.
