Model Checking, Synthesis, and Learning

This Festschrift, dedicated to Bengt Jonsson on the occasion of his 60th birthday, contains papers written by many of his friends and collaborators. Bengt has made major contributions covering a wide range of topics including verification and learning. His works on verification, in finite state systems, learning, testing, probabilistic systems, timed systems, and distributed systems reflect both the diversity and the depth of his research. Besides being an excellent scientist, Bengt is also a leader who has greatly influenced the careers of both his students and his colleagues.

His main focus throughout his career has been in the area of formal methods, and the research papers dedicated to him in this volume address related topics, particularly related to model checking, temporal logic, and automata learning.
