Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: model a concurrent system by state transitions and fairness requirements; use invariant and leads-to assertions and Hoare logic
226 ;;Quote: reason about concurrent systems using safety (nothing bad can happen) and progress (something good will happen) assertions
231 ;;Quote: progress assertions are of the form 'P leads-to Q' where P and Q are predicates; no time bound is implied, but holds when system at rest
236 ;;Quote: use invariants for safety properties, and leads-to and invariants for progress properties; includes every property for state-event sequences
