Specifying Imperative ML-like Programs Using Dynamic Logic

Paper i proceeding, 2011

We present a logical system suited for specification and verification of imperative ML programs. The specification language combines dynamic logic (DL), explicit state updates and second-order functional arithmetic. Its proof system is based on a Gentzen-style sequent calculus (adapted to modal logic) with facilities for symbolic evaluation. We illustrate the system with some example, and give a full Kripke-style semantics in order to prove its correctness.
