Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Design patterns are a highly successful technique in software engineering, giving a reusable 'best practice' solution to commonly occurring problems in software design. Taking inspiration, this paper introduces proof patterns, which aim to provide a common vocabulary for solving formal methods proof obligations by capturing and describing solutions to common patterns of proof, hence increasing effectiveness.
