Abstract:Program transformations are widely used in synthesis, optimization, and maintenance of software. Correctness of program transformations depends on preservation of some important properties of the input program. By regarding programs as Kripke structures, many interesting properties of programs can be expressed in temporal logics. In temporal logic, a formula is interpreted on a single program. However, to prove correctness of transformations, we encounter formulae which contain some subformulae interpreted on … Show more
