Verifying Time and Communication Costs of Rule-Based Reasoners -- Solving ?-Calculus Parity Games by Symbolic Planning -- Verifying Robocup Teams -- Scaling Search with Pattern Databases -- Survey on Directed Model Checking -- Automated Testing of Planning Models -- Towards Partial Order Reduction for Model Checking Temporal Epistemic Logic -- Model Checking Driven Heuristic Search for Correct Programs -- Experimental Evaluation of a Planning Language Suitable for Formal Verification -- Relaxation Refinement: A New Method to Generate Heuristic Functions -- Model Checking Strategic Equilibria.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Model Checking and Artificial Intelligence, MOCHART 2008, held in Patras, Greece, in July 2008 as a satellite event of ECAI 2008, the 18th biannual European conference on Artificial Intelligence. The 9 revised full workshop papers presented together with 2 invited lectures have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The workshop covers all ideas, research, experiments and tools that relate to both MC and AI fields.
