Summary:Abstract: " A logical technique is presented for approximating the semantic effects of a change to a software system. The new method uses proofs about a system's structure to obtain after finitely many steps results that are reasonably close to optimal. The technique is general enough to apply to implementations and to formal specifications of abstract design structures, provided that abstractions are defined in terms of certain predefined primitives. An experimental implementation has been completed in Prolog."
