MODELING IN EVENT- B

A practical text for an introductory or advanced course in formal methods, this book intends to present a mathematical approach to modelling and designing systems using an extension of the B formal method - Event-B. Based on the idea of refinement, the author's systematic approach allows the user to construct models gradually and to facilitate a systematic reasoning method by means of proofs. Readers may learn how to build models of programs and, more generally, discrete systems. The examples provided arise from various sources of computer system developments, including sequential programs, concurrent programs and electronic circuits. The book also contains different exercises and projects ranging in difficulty.
