Abstract

We present a proof system for verifying CCS processes in the modal ยต-calculus. Its novelty lies in the generality of the proof judgements allowing parametric and compositional reasoning in this complex setting. This is achieved, in part, by the use of explicit fixed point ordinal approximations, and in part by a complete separation, following an approach by Simpson, of rules concerning the logic from the rules encoding the operational semantics of the process language.
