| Aims |
|
We will present basic facts on Temporal Logic and applications in formal programming. By the graduation of this class, the students will get the following competences:
- Understanding the syntax and semantics in Temporal Logic - Using temporal properties - Realizing algorithmic verifications that a given logic formula holds in a given structure - Using formal execution sequences and Temporal Logic’s objects in Programming |
| Content |

| Assessment |
|
A written final exam (grade E), a test at the seminar (grade T) and a referee (R). The exam subjects have theoretical questions from all the studied topics, and one problem, among the problems studied at the course and last 4 seminars. The test subject have
practical questions (exercices and problems) from topics which are studied in first 10 weeks. The final grade is the weighted mean of the three grades mentioned above, conditioned by all the grades being at least 5 from 10. Otherwise, the exam will not be passed. The final grade = 50%E + 25%T + 25%R. |
