Permission-Based Separation Logic for Message-Passing Concurrency
arXiv:1106.5128 · doi:10.2168/LMCS-7(3:7)2011
Abstract
We develop local reasoning techniques for message passing concurrent programs based on ideas from separation logics and resource usage analysis. We extend processes with permission- resources and define a reduction semantics for this extended language. This provides a foundation for interpreting separation formulas for message-passing concurrency. We also define a sound proof system permitting us to infer satisfaction compositionally using local, separation-based reasoning.
