Description The key result was the development of a framework for reasoning about side-effects in programs. The framework enables proofs of the correctness of programs in the presence of side-effects, which complicate reasoning. In particular, this enables proofs of the correctness of program optimizations. The framework is more general than previous ones.
Exploitation Route There are still practical applications of the framework to be explored.
