DiSOM [3,4,2] is a distributed shared memory system that offers users an atomic collection of memory cells provided they satisfy certain well-formedness conditions. This report proves the correctness of DiSOM. The system partitions memory into a set of objects and implicitly associates a read-write lock with each object. Users synchronize accesses to these objects-write implementation guarantees progress and the usual read-write lock exclusions conditions.
