The early methods for reasoning about concurrent programs dealt with proving that a program satisfied certain properties–usually invariance properties. But, proving particular properties showed only that the program satisfied those properties. There remained the possibility that the program was incorrect because it failed to satisfy some other properties. Around the early 80s, people working on […]
