In this paper, we explore the possibility to use Event-B as a formal domain modeling tool. We
identify the areas where domain modelers can struggle and present some guidelines to …

Well specified requirements are crucial for good software design and domain engineering
helps better understanding and specification of requirements. Safety critical domains, such …

This paper addresses the validation of formal specifications in Event-B through the
execution of the specification. Current tools for Event-B, animators and translators, can …

A major hindrance to the use of formal methods is the difficulty to validate the models,
particularly at the early stages of the development. We propose to build simulations …

Domain specific discrete event simulation environments are supposed to enable faster and
easier model development and experimentation. Unfortunately, perceived disadvantages …

System engineering advocates a thorough under-standing of the engineering domain or
certification standards (aeronautics, railway, medical, etc.) associated to the system under …

To use of formal model effectively in formal method based development process, it is highly
desirable that the formal specification be converted to C code, a de facto standard in many …

In this paper, we give a framework for defining an extension to the event B method. The
event B method allows us to state only invariance properties, but in some applications such …

Nowadays, the usefulness of the formal verification and validation of system specifications is
well established, at least for critical systems. However, one of the main obstacles to their …

Distributed information systems are critical to the functioning of many businesses; designing
them to be dependable is a challenging but important task. We report our experience in …
