Compositionality, Concurrency, and Partial Correctness: Proof Theories for Networks of Processes, and Their Relationship

by Job Zwiers

The hierarchical decomposition of programs into smaller ones is generally considered imperative to master the complexity of large programs. The impact of this principle of program decomposition on the specification and verification of parallel executed programs is the subject of this monograph. Two important yardsticks for verification methods, those of compositionality and modularity, are made precise. The problem of reusing software is addressed...
