1980 Program Correctness: On Inductive Assertion Methods
abstract
A study of several of the proof of correctness methods is presented. In particular, the form of induction used is explored in detail. A relational semantic model for programming languages is introduced and its relation to predicate transformers is explored. A rather elementary viewpoint is taken in order to expose, as simply as possible, the basic differences of the methods and the underlying principles involved. These results were obtained by attempting to thoroughly understand the "subgoal induction" method.

1971 Proving Programs to be Correct
abstract
This paper formally describes a technique for proving that computer programs will always execute correctly. In order to do this, an abstract model for a program and its execution is given. Then, correctness of programs and proofs of correctness of programs are defined with respect to that model.

1970 An Interpretation Oriented Theorem Prover over Integers
abstract
A special purpose theorem prover for establishing the validity of expressions over integer variables was developed as part of a program verifier. It is built around a powerful system for manipulating and simplifying integer expressions.
