Lamport also advocates abstract models and high-level specification, but in program logics (based on abstract state machines) rather than in programming languages.

That's what I said but in different words. That's slso been where the payoff has beenin about any, automated activity on software. Generally some math notation that's easy to analyze or something close to CPU/memory models.

Langsec is a notable exception where Chomsky's hierarchy paid off big time. The notations and implementations still more consistent with Lamport, though. So, semi-exception.
