3140	 Social Processes and Proofs of Theorems and Programs	 It is argued that formal verifications of programs no matter how obtained will not play the same key role in the development of computer science and software engineering as proofs do in mathematics. Furthermore the absence of continuity the inevitability of change and the complexity of specification of significantly many real programs make the form al verification process difficult to justify and manage. It is felt that ease of formal verification should not dominate program language design. Formal mathematics mathematical proofs program verification program specification
