Using a multidisciplinary approach, The Art of Software Modeling covers model theory, practice, and presentation in detail. This book describes the driving need for model creation and demonstrates how to create system models. Presenting model examples of business workflows, requirements capture, and software architecture documentation, the text discusses research and information capture, model forms, and verification. Model information, consideration of perception and cognition of diagrams, model view composition, color theory, and presentation techniques are also included to illustrate the presentation. Each section is independent to allow readers to customize the text to their needs.

Formal methods is the term used to describe the specification and verification of software and software systems using mathematical logic. Various methodologies have been developed and incorporated into software tools. An important subclass is distributed systems. There are many books that look at particular methodologies for such systems, e.g. CSP, process algebra. This book offers a more balanced introduction for graduate students that describes the various approaches, their strengths and weaknesses, and when they are best used. Milner's CCS and its operational semantics are introduced, together with notions of behavioural equivalence based on bisimulation techniques and with variants of Hennessy-Milner modal logics. Later in the book, the presented theories are extended to take timing issues into account. The book has arisen from various courses taught in Iceland and Denmark and is designed to give students a broad introduction to the area, with exercises throughout.
