Abstract:

Kleene Algebra with Tests (KAT) has proved to be useful for reasoning
about programs in a partial correctness framework. We describe Demonic
Refinement Algebra (DRA), a variation of KAT for total correctness and
illustrate its modeling and reasoning power with a number of applications
and examples.
