The verification of modules

Grigoris Antoniou

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We present a module concept with algebraic interfaces and imperative implementation. It is shown that under some natural conditions, module correctness may be expressed in Hoare logic as a partial correctness assertion. Also, we discuss questions of practical verification of modules using Hoare's calculus.
