[http://www.example.com here], which can be imported into the Rodin platform. The archive contains to projects called ''Channel'' and ''Negotiation''. ''Channel'' is the abtract base project. ''Negotiation'' is the concrete target project: models of ''Channel'' will be instantiated within the contexts of ''Negotiation''.

Generic Instantiation tool is developed by Yokohama Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd. (YRL), ETH Zurich (ETHZ) and Hitachi India Pvt. Ltd (HIL) for Event-B as a Plug-in for the RODIN platform

Introduction

The Generic Instantiation plug-in provides supports for instantiating an Event-B Models by providing concrete values for carrier sets and constants.


Installing and Updating

The plug-in is available through the following Eclipse update site: http://gen-inst.sourceforge.net/updates

More information about the plug-in can be found in the User Guide.

The project is hosted on sourceforge at the project homepage
