Abstract

This dissertation exploits the formal methods paradigm in which the software system and its specification are transformed to a logical formula, such that the formula is valid iff the specification is correct. The thesis provides a reasoning framework for the verification of software systems against relational specifications written in a first-order relational logic. The system description can be given either at the abstract relational level or at the detailed implementation level.
