Abstract
Indexed and fibred categorical concepts are widely used in computer science as models of logical systems and type theories. Here we focus on Hoare logic and show that a comprehensive categorical analysis of its axiomatic semantics needs the languages of indexed category and fibred category theory. The structural features of the language are presented in an indexed setting, while the logical features of deduction are modeled in the fibred one. Especially, Hoare triples arise naturally as special arrows in a fibred category over a syntactic category of programs, while deduction in the Hoare calculus can be characterized categorically by the heuristic deduction = generation of cartesian arrows + composition of arrows.
期刊介绍：
ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
