The main aim of this paper is to present the completeness proof of a formal system for reasoning about logical consequences of structured speciications. The system is based on the proof rules for structural speciications build in an arbitrary institution as presented in ST 88]. The proof of its completeness is inspired by the proof due to M. V. Cengarle (see Cen 94]) for speciications in rst-or...

The power set of a finite set is used as the alphabet of a string interpreting a sentence of Monadic Second-Order Logic so that the string can be reduced (in straightforward ways) to the symbols occurring in the sentence. Simple extensions to regular expressions are described matching the succinctness of Monadic Second-Order Logic. A link to Goguen and Burstall's notion of an institution is for...
