Verification of ASM Refinements Using Generalized Forward Simulation
Gerhard Schellhorn (University of Augsburg, Germany)
Abstract: This paper describes a generic proof method for the correctness of refinements of Abstract State Machines based on commuting diagrams. The method generalizes forward simulations from the refinement of I/O automata by allowing arbitrary m:n diagrams, and by combining it with the refinement of data structures.
Keywords: Abstract State Machines, I/O-Automata, commuting diagrams, compiler cerification, correctness proofs, data refinement, dynamic logic, forward simulation, interactive theorem proving, refinement, transition systems
