Abstract

This position paper describes a hardware and software verification effort at Argonne National Laboratory based upon the LMA (Logic Machine Architecture) collection of Pascal procedures. The reasoning component of the system is the Interactive Theorem Prover (ITP), a Pascal program using the procedures of LMA. ITP is in effect an enhanced portable implementation of our previous reasoning system AURA. A verification condition generator for the software will be developed using tools such as the TAMPR program transformation system. The resulting system is being applied to prove claims about hardware/software used in a control system running on a fault-tolerant computer.
