Temporal Logic
2 primary works
Book 28
This long awaited book gives a thorough account of the mathematical foundations of Temporal Logic, one of the most important areas of logic in computer science.
The book, which consists of fifteen chapters, moves on from giving a solid introduction in semantical and axiomatic approaches to temporal logic to covering the central topics of predicate temporal logic, meta-languages, general theories of axiomatization, many dimensional systems, propositional quantifiers, expressive power, Henkin dimension, temporalization of other logics, and decidability results.
Much of the research presented here is frontline in the new results and in the unifying methodology. This is an indispensable reference work for both the pure logician and the theoretical computer scientist.

Book 40
This is the second volume of this respected work in temporal logic. Whereas volume 1 dealt primarily with basic concepts and methods, volume 2 discusses the more applicable aspects of temporal logics. The first four chapters continue the more theoretical presentations in volume 1, covering automata, branching time and labelled deduction. The rest of the book discusses temporal databases, temporal execution and programming, actions and planning.
