Intermediate
Skill Level
3 Hours
Self-paced lessons
This course introduces fundamental concepts in system validation, focusing on automata theory and behavioral equivalences. It covers labelled transition systems (automata) as models for system behavior, various notions of behavioral equivalence, and their applications in system design and verification. Students will learn to model complex system behaviors, understand different types of behavioral equivalences, and apply these concepts to analyze and simplify system models. The course emphasizes the importance of these techniques in designing reliable, maintainable software systems, especially for embedded and communicating systems.

There are 3 modules in this course
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to automata theory and behavioral equivalences in the context of system validation. It is structured in three modules, covering behavioral modeling, basic behavioral equivalences, and advanced equivalences. Students will learn to model system behavior using labelled transition systems (automata), understand various notions of behavioral equivalence such as bisimulation and trace equivalence, and apply these concepts to analyze and simplify complex system models. The course emphasizes the practical applications of these theoretical concepts in designing and verifying reliable software systems, particularly for embedded and communicating systems. Through a combination of video lectures, readings, and quizzes, students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in formal methods for system validation.
