Abstract:The overall problem addressed in this paper is the long-standing problem of program correctness, and in particular programs that describe systems of parallel executing processes. We propose a new method for proving correctness of parallel implementations of high-level transition system specifications. The implementation language underlying the method is based on the model of active (or concurrent) objects. The method defines correctness in terms of a simulation relation between the transition system which spec… Show more
