Abstract

© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG. Decomposing the design (or documentation) of large systems is a practical necessity; this prompts the need for a notion of compositional development methods; finding such methods for concurrent software is technically challenging because of the interference that characterises concurrency. This paper outlines the development of a difficult example in order to draw out lessons about such development methods. Although the “rely/guarantee” approach is employed in the example, the intuitions are more general.
