Acta Informatica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In this paper we propose an axiomatic system for proving the total correctness of CSP programs. The system is based on the partial correctness system of [6, 7]. We use the proposed system to prove the total correctness of a program for set partitioning.
