  • Abstract
    Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) has proved to be useful for reasoning about programs in a partial correctness framework. We describe demonic refinement algebra (DRA), a variation of KAT for total correctness and illustrate its modelling and reasoning power with a number of applications and examples.
