Question 2

In the context of formal methods, what is the primary purpose of using 'temporal logic'?

Question 3

Consider a system where a critical safety property is that 'if a sensor detects an anomaly, an alarm must sound within $10$ milliseconds.' Which type of formal logic would be most appropriate for specifying and verifying this property?

Question 4

What is the primary challenge associated with applying model checking to complex, large-scale systems?

Question 5

In formal methods, what is the significance of a 'counterexample' generated by a model checker?
