Abstract

In recent years, we extended the theory of Abadi and Lamport (1991) on the existence of refinement mappings. The present paper gives an overview of several extensions of the theory and of a number of recent applications to practical verifications. It concludes with a sketch of the results on semantic completeness, and a discussion of the relationship between semantic completeness and methodological convenience.
