Abstract
We present the first compositional proof system for checking processes against formulas in the modal mu-calculus which is capable of handlin g dynamic process networks. The proof system is obtained in a systemat ic way from the operational semantics of the underlying process algebr a. A non-trivial proof example is given, and the proof system is shown to be sound in general, and complete for finite-state processes. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
