Abstract
Abstract. Many ITP developments exist in the context of a single prover, and are dominated by proof effort. In contrast, when applying rigorous semantic techniques to realistic computer systems, engineering the definitions becomes a major activity in its own right. Proof is then only one task among many: testing, simulation, communication, community review, etc. Moreover, the effort invested in establishing such definitions should be re-usable and, where possible, irrespective of the local proof-assistant culture. For example, in recent work on processor and programming language concurrency (x86, Power, ARM, C++0x, CompCertTSO), we have used Coq, HOL4, Isabelle/HOL, and Ott—often
