Relating State Transformation Semantics and Predicate Transformer Semantics for Parallel Programs
Author: Franck van Breugel

Category : Parallel programming (Computer science)

Pages : 20
Book Description
Abstract: "A state transformation semantics and a predicate transformer semantics for programs built from atomic actions, sequential composition, nondeterministic choice, parallel composition, atomisation, and recursion are presented. Both semantic models are derived from some SOS-style labelled transition system. The state transformation semantics and the predicate transformer semantics are shown to be isomorphic extending results of Plotkin and Best."

Predicate Transformer Semantics
Author: Ernest. G. Manes
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521616102
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
A central problem in the design of programming systems is to provide methods for verifying that computer code performs to specification. This book presents a rigorous foundation for defining Boolean categories, in which the relationship between specification and behaviour can be explored. Boolean categories provide a rich interface between program constructs and techniques familiar from algebra, for instance matrix- or ideal-theoretic methods. The book's distinction is that the approach relies on only a single program construct (the first-order theory of categories), the others being derived mathematically from four axioms. Development of these axioms (which are obeyed by an abundance of program paradigms) yields Boolean algebras of 'predicates', loop-free constructs, and a calculus of partial and total correctness which is shown to be the standard one of Hoare, Dijkstra, Pratt, and Kozen. The book is based in part on courses taught by the author, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers in theoretical computer science.

Predicate Calculus and Program Semantics
Author: Edsger W. Dijkstra
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461232287
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This booklet presents a reasonably self-contained theory of predicate trans former semantics. Predicate transformers were introduced by one of us (EWD) as a means for defining programming language semantics in a way that would directly support the systematic development of programs from their formal specifications. They met their original goal, but as time went on and program derivation became a more and more formal activity, their informal introduction and the fact that many of their properties had never been proved became more and more unsatisfactory. And so did the original exclusion of unbounded nondeterminacy. In 1982 we started to remedy these shortcomings. This little monograph is a result of that work. A possible -and even likely- criticism is that anyone sufficiently versed in lattice theory can easily derive all of our results himself. That criticism would be correct but somewhat beside the point. The first remark is that the average book on lattice theory is several times fatter (and probably less self contained) than this booklet. The second remark is that the predicate transformer semantics provided only one of the reasons for going through the pains of publication.
