An abstract account of composition

Martín Abadi, Stephan Merz

Abstract

We present a logic of specifications of reactive systems. The logic is independent of particular computational models, but it captures common patterns of reasoning with assumption-commitment specifications. We use the logic for deriving proof rules for TLA and CTL* specifications.
