The automated prover enhancement was a continuous task since the birth of the Rodin platform. It could be achieved by core platform internal refactorings and enhancements, but also by adding some external reasoning ability such as external provers.<br>
 
From the core platform point of view, and within the ten first month of ADVANCE, it consisted into two tasks: the addition of rewriting and inference rules, and the addition of a mechanism to allow the customization and the parametrization or combination of tactics. The user is now able to define various types of tactics called 'profiles' which could be customized and parameterized tactics to discharge some specific proof obligations. The user can furthermore share and backup these defined tactics using the provided import/export mechanism.<br>
 
From an external point of view, the SMT Solvers plug-in allowing to use the SMT solvers within Rodin is an effective alternative to the Atelier-B provers, particularly when reasoning on linear arithmetic. It is maintained in the time frame of ADVANCE, and increases the rate of automatically discharged proof obligations.
 
  
== Motivations / Decisions ==
 
Since Rodin 2.4,  a new tactic combinator 'Attempt after Lasso' is available in auto tactic profile editor and the import/export of profiles has been made possible. Indeed, a user that elaborates a good profile for a certain kind of proof pattern can thus share this profile thus increasing the number of automatic proofs.
 
  
Two main reasons mainly motivate the integration of SMT solvers into the Rodin platform. Firstly, to allow Rodin to benefit from the know capacity of such solvers in the field of arithmetics. Secondly, to extract some useful informations from the proofs that these solvers produce such as unsatisfiable cores, in order to significantly decrease the proving time of a modified model.

Revision as of 17:43, 8 September 2011

Rodin User and Developer Workshop, 27-29 February 2012, Fontainebleau, France

Event-B is a formal method for system-level modelling and analysis. The Rodin Platform is an Eclipse-based toolset for Event-B that provides effective support for modelling and automated proof. The platform is open source and is further extendable with plug-ins. A range of plug-ins have already been developed including ones that support animation, model checking and UML-B. The first Rodin User and Developer Workshop was held in July 2009 at the University of Southampton while the second took place at the University of Düsseldorf in September 21-23, 2010. The 2012 workshop will be part of the DEPLOY Federated Event.

While much of the development and use of Rodin takes place within the EU FP7 DEPLOY Project, there is a growing group of users and plug-in developers outside of DEPLOY. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together existing and potential users and developers of the Rodin toolset and to foster a broader community of Rodin users and developers.

For Rodin users the workshop will provide an opportunity to share tool experiences and to gain an understanding of on-going tool developments. For plug-in developers the workshop will provide an opportunity to showcase their tools and to achieve better coordination of tool development effort.

The format will be presentations together with plenty of time for discussion. On Day 1 a Developer Tutorial will be held while Days 2 and 3 will be devoted to tool usage and tool developments. The workshop will be followed by an open Industry Day.

If you are interested in giving a presentation at the Rodin workshop, send a short abstract (1 or 2 pages of A4) to rodin@ecs.soton.ac.uk by 16 January 2012. Indicate whether it is a tool usage or tool development presentation. Plug-in presentations may be about existing developments or planned future developments. We will endeavour to accommodate all submissions that are relevant to Rodin and Event-B.
