On the Refinement Calculus

Carroll Morgan‚ Ken Robinson and Paul Gardiner

Abstract

The refinement calculus is a notation and set of rules for deriving programs from their specifications. It is distinguished from earlier methods (though based on them) because the derivations are carried out within a single “programming” language: there is no separate language of specifications.
