Interference freedom • Let abe a statement and C be an assertion. • NI(a, C) iff { pre(a) /\ C } a { C } • Execution of a does not invalidates (or interferes) with C.
{ Pi } Si { Qi }, for all I, are interference free if • For all i for all assertions C in proof outline of Si, for all actions a in Sj, i != j NI(a, C) holds

Techniques to avoid interference • Disjoint variables • If the write set of each process is disjoint from the read and write set of other processes, then the proof outlines will be interference free.
Avoiding interference • Weakened assertions x= 0; co x = x + 1 // x = x + 2 od
Avoiding interference • Global Invariants: Assume that every assertion in the proof outline of Pi is of the form I /\ L, where L refers to local variables of Pi or to variables that only Pi writes. - Then the proof outlines will be interference free.
