Model checking is a computer-assisted method for the analysis of dynamical systems that can be modeled by state-transition systems. Drawing from research traditions in mathematical logic, programming languages, hardware design, and theoretical computer science, model checking is now widely used for the verification of hardware and software in industry. The editors and authors of this handbook are among the world's leading researchers in this domain, and the 32 contributed chapters present a thorough view of the origin, theory, and application of model checking. In particular, the editors classify the advances in this domain and the chapters of the handbook in terms of two recurrent themes that have driven much of the research agenda: the algorithmic challenge, that is, designing model-checking algorithms that scale to real-life problems; and the modeling challenge, that is, extending the formalism beyond Kripke structures and temporal logic. The book will be valuable for researchers and graduate students engaged with the development of formal methods and verification tools.

This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Yuri Gurevich on the occasion of his 70th birthday, contains contributions, written by his colleagues. The collection of articles herein begins with an academic biography, an annotated list of Yuri's publications and reports, and a personal tribute by Jan Van den Bussche. These are followed by 28 technical contributions. These articles - though they cover a broad range of topics - represent only a fraction of Yuri Gurevich’s multiple areas of interest.

In online computation, an algorithm has to solve some optimization problem while receiving the input instance gradually, without any knowledge about the future input. Such an online algorithm has to compute parts of the output for parts of the input, based on what it knows about the input so far and without being able to revoke its decisions later. Almost inevitably, the algorithm makes a bad choice at some point that leads to a solution that is suboptimal with respect to the whole input instance. Compared to an offline algorithm that is given the entire input instance at once, the online algorithm thus has a substantial handicap. Developing online algorithms that nonetheless compute solutions of some adequate quality is a large and rich field of research within computer science.
