     Dr. Dexter  Kozen  of  IBM  Research  Center,  Yorktown
     Heights,  will speak on ``Probabilistic Program Verifi-
     cation''.

     TIME:                3.30 PM

     ROOM:              MC 5158

     ABSTRACT

     This talk concerns a probabilistic analog PPDL of  Pro-
     positional Dynamic Logic.  PPDL is useful in the formal
     manipulation  of  simple  probabilistic  programs   and
     average-case  analysis  of  deterministic programs.  In
     this talk we describe the system and its deductive cal-
     culus,  and  illustrate  its use by calculating the ex-
     pected running time of a simple random walk.   We  also
     describe briefly a polynomial- space decision procedure
     for deciding the  truth  of  formulas  involving  well-
     structured programs.
