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

We use a variety of consumer-producer specifications to illustrate the range of choices and rationale that arise in concurrent specifications using rely-guarantee. We also extend postconditions with a new argument to make explicit the environment assigned to the process, and present a semantics for possible values that explores the new parameter in postconditions. All specifications presented in this document were mechanised in Isabelle/HOL.
