Showing that concurrent threads operate on separate portions of their shared state is a way of establishing non-interference. Furthermore, in many useful programs, ownership of parts of the state are exchanged dynamically. Reasoning about separation and ownership of heap-based variables is often conducted using some form of separation logic. This paper examines the issue of separation and investigates the use of abstraction to specify and to reason about separation in program design. Two case studies demonstrate that using separation as an abstraction is a potentially useful approach.
