Only limited progress has been made so far towards an axiomatic semantics or discovering the algebraic rules that characterise Handel-C programs. In this paper we present a UTP semantics together with extensions we needed to include in order to express Handel-C properties that were not addressable with standard UTP. We also show how our extensions can be abstracted to a more general context and prove a set of algebraic rules that hold for them. Finally, we use the semantics to prove some properties about Handel-C constructs.
