Data Refinement: Model-Oriented Proof Methods and Their Comparison

by W. Deroever, Kai Engelhardt, Willem-Paul de Roever

Book Overview

The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the important and highly applicable method of data refinement and the simulation methods used for proving its correctness. The authors concentrate in the first part on the general principles needed to prove data refinement correct. They begin with an explanation of the fundamental notions, showing that data refinement proofs reduce to proving simulation. The book's...
