Enabledness and Termination in Refinement Algebra

Kim Solin, Joakim von Wright, Enabledness and Termination in Refinement Algebra. Science of Computer Programming , 2007.

Abstract:

Refinement algebras are abstract algebras for reasoning about programs in a total-correctness framework. We extend a reduct of von Wright’s demonic refinement algebra with two operators for modelling enabledness and termination of programs. We show how the operators can be used for expressing relations between programs and apply the algebra to reasoning about action systems.
