Logic in Computer Science: Modelling and Reasoning about Systems

"The second edition of this successful textbook addresses both those requirements, by continuing to provide an introduction to formal reasoning that is both relevant to the needs of modern computer science and rigorous enough for practical application.

A key feature is the full exposition of model-checking, and the new edition supports the most up-to--date versions of the tools NuSMV and Alloy.
