Title
Program Abstraction in a Higher-Order Logic Framework
Abstract
We present a hybrid approach to program veriflcation: a higher-order logic, used as a speciflcation language, and a human-driven proof environment, with a process-algebraic engine to allow the use of process simulation as an abstraction technique. The domain of appli- cation is the validation of object code, and our intent is to adapt and mix existing formalisms to make the veriflcation of representative pro- grams possible. In this paper, we describe the logic in question and an underlying semantics given in terms of a process algebra.
