Specification and Verification of Abstract Database Types
Summary: Models a DB (schema, constraints, transactions, queries) as an ADT whose values are legal database states and defines transaction safety as closure on that state set. Provides a designer-friendly spec and adapts Boyer–Moore proving by encoding transactions as recursive-list functions for mechanical safety proofs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
