A comprehensive, modern and technically precise exposition of the theory and main applications of temporal logics in computer science.

Temporal logic has developed over the last 30 years into a powerful formal setting for the specification and verification of state-based systems. Based on unive

The name "temporal logic" may sound complex and daunting; but while they describe potentially complex scenarios, temporal logics are often based on a few simple
