DESCRIPTION:I shall present segment logic\, a logic for reasoning about pr
 ograms that manipulate shared data structures. Segment logic extends separ
 ation logic by logically partitioning the heap into a finite number of sha
 red heap segments. Its ass ertions contain a special modality for describi
 ng segments and a nominal quantifier over segmen t names. Segment logic of
 ten enables more concise descriptions of pointer aliasing patterns tha n s
 eparation logic\, has a better frame rule\, and yet has a simple soundness
  statement.
