About the Course

System Validation is the field that studies the fundamentals of system communication and information processing. It is the next logical step in computer science and improving software development in general. It allows automated analysis based on behavioural models of a system to see if a system works correctly. We want to guarantee that the systems does exactly what it is supposed to do. The techniques put forward in system validation allow to prove the absence of errors. It allows to design embedded system behaviour that is structurally sound and as a side effect forces you to make the behaviour simple and insightful. This means that the systems are not only behaving correctly, but are also much easier to maintain and adapt. ’Model process behaviour' is the follow up MOOC to 'Automata and behavioural equivalences'. This MOOC shows you how to model process behaviour, in particular protocols and distributed algorithms, dive deeper in the properties of system behaviour, and keep things simple to avoid a state space explosion.

It helped me a great deal to have the book and use the mCRL2 tool extensively. The assignments are very tricky to the point of being frustrating; however, with perseverance, the success made me really feel good about learning this material. I suppose that the tricky quizzes are necessary to emphasize the point that modeling processes is fundamentally a tricky business. So in this regard, this course delivers a valuable experience. Since the book was published, the mCRL2 syntax has changed -- the rename operator is litterally "rename({a->b}, process)", not "comm({a->b}, process)" as described in the book.

Interesting course about model checking, but maybe it would be helpful to have more examples and sometimes more detailed explanations about some concepts.

La façon dont le professeur parlait était si mauvaise que je ne pouvais pas continuer le cours.
