Abstract

In this paper, we propose a technique for parallel composition of protocols. The technique allows an interleaved execution of the component protocols at a site. We give a sound and complete proof system for composing the partial correctness proofs of the component protocols to obtain a proof of the composite protocol. We first develop the technique for the case in which the component protocols are linear sequences of events. We then apply this technique in a hierarchical fashion to combine more complex protocols. We illustrate the use of this technique by designing a new protocol for breadth-first numbering.
