Model Checking Software

From the reviews: "This very advanced volume in Springer's 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)' series comprises the proceedings of the 15th International SPIN Workshop. ... This extraordinarily well-composed book belongs in every research library. By perusing these proceedings, beginners will also be able to appreciate the breadth and depth of this exciting field." (George Hacken, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2009)
