Overview
- Precise characterizations of automata models in terms of descriptive logic formalisms
- Software engineers can use fragments of monadic second-order logic to specify desired system behaviors
- First monograph dealing with the relationship between automata and monadic second-order logic
- Focuses on classes of automata that describe the concurrent behavior of distributed systems
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
"The book deals with one essential problem of communication systems, namely formal description of protocols and systems and verification of correctness of their operation. … The book, due to clear definitions, well proved theorems and a number of illustrative examples, can be advised as a valuable source of knowledge for graduate mathematics and computer science students." (Jozef Wozniak, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1107 (9), 2007)
