Abstract
A classical while-program normal-form theorem is derived in demonic refinement algebra. In contrast to Kozen’s partial-correctness proof of the theorem in Kleene algebra with tests, the derivation in demonic refinement algebra provides a proof that the theorem holds in total correctness. A normal form for action systems is also discussed.
