Abstract
This paper concerns the relation between process algebra and Hoare logic. We investigate the question whether and how a Hoare logic can be used for reasoning about how data change in the course of a process when reasoning equationally about that process. We introduce an extension of ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes) with features that are relevant to processes in which data are involved, present a Hoare logic for the processes considered in this process algebra, and discuss the use of this Hoare logic as a complement to pure equational reasoning with the equational axioms of the process algebra.
