Editing Kleene Algebra with Domain (KAD)

Title: Kleene Algebra with Domain (KAD)

Research Question: How can we extend Kleene Algebra (KAT) to better model and analyze state transition systems?

Methodology: The researchers proposed Kleene Algebra with Domain (KAD), an extension of KAT with two additional axioms for a domain and a codomain operation. This allows for a more expressive language for specifying and analyzing state transition systems.

Results: The authors developed the basic calculus of KAD, discussed related theories, and presented models. They demonstrated the applicability of KAD by reconstructing Noetherianity and well-foundedness, and by reconstructing propositional Hoare logic.

Implications: KAD significantly extends the expressiveness of KAT, making it more suitable for modeling and analyzing state transition systems. This can lead to more accurate and efficient verification of software systems.
