=== Tutorial Overview ===
+
Rodin 2.1.1 is a maintenance release: as such, it contains only bug fixes. For more information, see [[Rodin_Platform_2.1_Release_Notes]].
  
The aim of the tutorial is to allow users to explore the approach with a relatively simple example. The example uses a shared buffer with reader and writer processes. The tutorial is presented in three stages, making use of the example projects from the download site. There are two translations performed, one is to a common language model (IL1). The second is to an Event-B project which includes a model of the implementation. There is a PrettyPrinter for Ada source code, which uses the common language model. An overview of Tasking Event-B can be found at http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Tasking_Event-B_Overview.
+
== What's New in Rodin 2.1.1 ? ==
  
A typical Event-B development may be refined to the point where it is ready for implementation, but the Event-B language is not expressive enough to fully describe the implementation. Tasking Event-B facilitates this final step to implementation, by extending Event-B with the necessary constructs. Event-B machines that are to be implemented (and their seen Contexts) are selected and added to a ''Tasking Development''; the Tasking Development files have the file extension ''.tasking''. The machines in the Tasking Development are then extended with implementation details.

== Preliminaries ==
+
=== Upgrading from Rodin 2.1 ===
Before further discussion of the modelling aspects, we take a look at the PrettyPrint viewers. The PrettyPrinters make the viewing of IL1 and tasking models easier; it also provides a route to generate source code. The source code can easily be pasted from the IL1 Pretty Printer window into an the Ada source file .  
 
==== The PrettyPrint View of a Tasking Development ====
 
To open the Tasking PrettyPrint viewer,
 
* from the top-menu select ''Window/Show View/Other/Tasking Pretty Printer''.
 
  
Note that the Tasking PrettyPrinter may have to be closed when editing the Tasking Development, since it can give rise to exceptions. The PrettyPrinter would need further work to make it robust, however it is intended only as a short-term solution.

==== Viewing Source Code ====

To view Ada source code,
+
== Disclaimer ==
* from the top-menu select ''Window/Show View/Other/IL1 Pretty Printer''.
+
Since Rodin is continuously maintained, several unsoundness bugs which have been encountered were investigated and fixed. However, despite the total commitment of our teams to insure the soundness of the platform, some unexpected and unknown soundness issues could remain. We would be grateful if you would report these issues to the [mailto:rodin-b-sharp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net development mailing list].
* Open the ''SharedBuffer20100819Demo'' Project and switch to the Resource Perspective.
 
* Open the ''.il1'' model and inspect it. Clicking on the Protected, Main Entry, or Task nodes updates the pretty print window.
 
  
==== Cleaning the Tasking Development ====
+
== About ==
If the ''.tasking'' file has errors, then it may need cleaning. To do this right-click on the ''Main'' node, select ''Epsilon Translation/CleanUp''. If a model has errors it can still be viewed by clicking on the ''Selection'' tab at the bottom of the tasking editor window.

== The Tutorial ==
+
Made of Rodin 2.1 plus following trunk revisions (change log available in SourceForge downloads):
The steps needed to generate code from an Event-B model, in this tutorial, are as follows,
+
10768; 10800; 10801; 10806; 10807; 10860; 10861; 10863; 10870; 10872; 10876; 10877; 10880; 10879; 10915; 10916; 10940
* Step 1 - Create the tasking development.
 
* Step 2 - Add annotations.
 
* Step 3 - Invoke translators.
 
  
==== Creating The Tasking Development ====
 
* Change to the Event-B Perspective.
 
* Open the ''SharedBuffer20100819Tutorial'' Project.
 
* Select the following Machines: Reader, Writer and Shared.
 
* Right-click and select ''Make Tasking Development/Generate Tasking Development''.
 
  
The new Tasking Development will not be visible in the Event-B perspective, change to the resource perspective, open and inspect the new ''.tasking'' file. The Tasking Development contains (the EMF representation of) the machines that we wish to provide implementations for. In order to introduce the new concepts we have prepared a partially complete development.  
+
Developer Release date : 11/03/2011.
 +
User Release date : 15/03/2011.
  
Change to the Project ''SharedBuffer20100819Tutorial2'' to begin the next step.

==== Providing the Annotations for Implementations ====
 
* Close any Tasking Pretty Print Viewers that remain open. The incomplete model will give rise to exceptions.
 
* Go to the to the Resource Perspective.
 
* Open and inspect the ''.tasking'' machine.
 
 
 
The ''WriterTsk'' and ''SharedObj'' machines are incomplete. We will take the steps to necessary to provide implementation details.
 
 
 
===== The WriterTsk Machine =====
 
In the first step we identify ''WriterTsk'' as an ''AutoTask'' Tasking Machine. ''AutoTasks'' are tasks that will be declared and defined in the ''Main'' procedure of the implementation. The effect of this is that the ''AutoTasks'' are created when the program first loads, and then activated (made ready to run) before the main procedure body runs.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===== The Shared Machine =====
 
 
 
The next step is to identify the machine as one that is shared. The ''SharedObj'' Machine will be extended using the Event-B EMF extension mechanism.
 
* Right-click on the ''SharedObj'' Machine node in the ''.tasking'' file.
 
* Select ''New Child/Extension''.
 
* Right-click on the ''Extension'' node and select ''New Child/Shared Machine'' from the menu.
 
 
 
We now show how to extend the ''SWrite'' event of the Shared Machine with details about its implementation. The ''SWrite'' event in ''SharedObj'' is to be synchronized with the ''TWrite'' event in the ''WriterTsk''.
 
* Right-click on the ''SWrite'' Event node in the ''.tasking'' file.
 
* Select ''New Child/Extension''.
 
* Right-click on the ''Extension'' node and select ''New Child/Implementation'' from the menu.
 
* Go to the Implementation properties view and set the ''Implementation type'' property to ''ProcedureSynch''.
 
 
 
We now identify incoming and outgoing parameters of the event.
 
* Right-click on the ''inFP'' node and add an ''Extension''.
 
* Right-click on the ''Extension'' and select''New Child/Parameter Type''.
 
* Go to the ''Parameter Type'' properties view and set the ''Parameter type'' property to ''formalIn''.
