Tik-79.146 Logic in Computer Science: Special Topics I
Spring 2000
This is an advanced course on logic and its applications in computer
science and engineering. Subjects covered this year are:
modal logics (syntax, semantics, proof theory and computational
properties) and applications of temporal logic in concurrent and
distributed systems.

Home Assignments
There are 3 compulsory home assignments
(see Program).
Each
student is given a personal assignment.
-
The first home assignment is distributed starting on Thursday 10.2.2000 at the
lecture 16-18 o'clock.
The deadline for the first assignment is Thursday 2.3.2000.
- The second home assignment is distributed starting on
Thursday 23.3.2000 at the lecture 16-18 o'clock.
The deadline for the second assignment is Thursday 6.4.2000.
- The third home assignment can be obtained as a PostScript file
here
starting on Thursday
6.4.2000. The deadline is Friday 5.5.2000.
For more detailed instructions, see
how to get
started,
general
information and
CTL syntax
used by the model checker.
The assignments can be returned at the lectures or tutorials or to the
box by the room TB336.
If you cannot come to pick up your assignment at the lectures, please
contact the lecturer directly.
If you have returned your assignment, see the
results.
