Abstract

In 1961 I published my first paper on computer-checked proofs of program correctness. In it I proposed that soon buyers would not pay for programs until furnished with computer checked proofs that they met there specifications. I was careful to point out that the buyer would have to be careful that the specification reflected his real requirements. Alas, almost 30 years later computer checked proofs are still not in practical use.
