Abstract

An algebraic specification is given of an algorithm for recovery from catastrophe by a deterministic process. A second version of the algorithm also includes check-points. The algorithms are formulated in the notations of Communicating Sequential Processes (Hoare 1985) and the proofs of correctness are conducted wholly by application of algebraic laws (together with the unique fixed point theorem).
