Lectures on Runtime Verification: Introductory and Advanced Topics

An Introduction to Runtime Verification -- Discovering Concurrency Errors -- Monitoring Events That Carry Data -- Runtime Error Reaction and Prevention -- Specification-based Monitoring of Cyber-Physical Systems: A Survey on Theory, Tools and Applications -- Runtime Verification for Decentralized and Distributed Systems -- Industrial Experiences with Runtime Verification of Financial Transaction Systems: Lessons Learnt and Standing Challenges.;The idea of this volume originated from the need to have a book for students to support their training with several tutorials on different aspects of RV. The volume has been organized into seven chapters and the topics covered include an introduction on runtime verification, dynamic analysis of concurrency errors, monitoring events that carry data, runtime error reaction and prevention, monitoring of cyber-physical systems, runtime verification for decentralized and distributed systems and an industrial application of runtime verification techniques in financial transaction systems.
