PVS - design for a practical verification system
Charles H. Applebaum, James Gordon Williams · 1984
In this paper we present a new and practical approach to program verification based on the transformational program development method. We believe this system, which we call the Practical Verification System, is both user-friendly and mathematically powerful. A user of this system would present the system with an initial abstract specification, written in the user-interface language, and the system, under the guidance of the user, would generate a program guaranteed to satisfy the goals set forth in the initial specification.
