Abstract
Abstract Hoare Logic has a long tradition in formal verification and has been continuously developed and used to verify a broad class of programs, including sequential, object-oriented, and concurrent programs. Here we focus on partial and total correctness assertions within the framework of Hoare logic and show that a comprehensive categorical analysis of its axiomatic semantics needs the languages of indexed and fibered category theory. We consider Hoare formulas with local, finite contexts, of program and logical variables. The structural features of Hoare assertions are presented in an indexed setting, while the logical features of deduction are modeled in the fibered one.
期刊介绍：
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and mathematical logic to computer science. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical contributions and software design, publishing original papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra, geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a basis for the work. The journal welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific mathematical structures (e.g. topological and order-theoretic structures) as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results.
