Specifying Properties of Concurrent Computations in CLF
Kevin Watkins, Iliano Cervesato, Frank Pfenning, David P. Walker · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2008
CLF (the Concurrent Logical Framework) is a language for specifying and reasoning about concurrent systems. Its most significant feature is the first-class representation of concurrent executions as monadic expressions . We illustrate the representation techniques available within CLF by applying them to an asynchronous pi-calculus with correspondence assertions, including its dynamic semantics, safety criterion, and a type system with latent effects due to Gordon and Jeffrey.
