This page sum up the known developments that are being done around or for the [[Rodin Platform]]. ''Please contributes informations about your own development to keep the community informed''
 
  
== Deploy Tasks ==
 
The following tasks were planned at some stage of the [[Deploy]] project.
 
=== Core Platform ===
 
==== New Mathematical Language ====
 
==== Rodin Index Manager ====
 
[[Systerel]] is in charge of this task.
 
{{details|Rodin Index Design|Rodin index design}}
 
 
The purpose of the Rodin index manager is to store in a uniform way the entities that are declared in the database together with their occurrences. This central repository of declarations and occurrences will allow for fast implementations of various refactoring mechanisms (such as renaming) and support for searching models or browsing them.
 
 
==== Undo / Redo ====
 
[[Systerel]] is in charge of this task.
 
{{details|Undo Redo Design|Undo/Redo design}}
 
{{TODO|describe current work in [[Undo Redo Design]]}}
 
 
{{TODO|add a short summary about current work for undo/redo here}}
 
 
==== Text Editor ====
 
[[Düsseldorf]] has a prototype text-based editor for Event-B (courtesy of Fabian Fritz). As of end of sempteber 2008, it still needs more work to fully integrate into Rodin.
 
 
=== Plug-ins ===
 
==== Requirement Management Plug-in ====
 
[[User:Jastram|Michael]] at [[Düsseldorf]] is in charge of the [[:Category:Requirement Plugin|Requirements Management Plug-in]].
 
 
{{See also|ReqsManagement|Requirements Tutorial|l1=Requirements Management Plug-in}}
 
 
This plug-in allows:
 
* Requirements to be edited in a set of documents (independently from Rodin)
 
* Requirements to be viewed within Rodin
 
* Individual Requirements to be linked to individual Event-B-Entities
 
* A basic completion test to be performed
 
 
==== UML-B Plug-in ====
 
[[Southampton]] is in charge of [[UML-B]] plug-in.
 
 
* Support for synchronisation of transitions from different statemachines. This feature will allow two or more transitions in different statemachines to contribute to a single event. This feature is needed because a single event can alter several variables (in this case statemachines) simultaneously.
 
 
*Allow user to allocate the name of the 'implicit contextual instance' used in a class. Events and Transitions owned by a class are implicitly acting upon an instance of the class which has formerly been denoted by the reserved word 'self'. This modification allows the modeller to override 'self' (which is now the default name) with any other identifier. This feature is needed to avoid name clashes when synchronising transitions into a single event. It also allows events to be moved between different classes (or outside of all classes) during refinement without creating name clashes.
 
 
* Better support for state machine refinement in UML-B. This revision to UML-B allows a statemachine to be recognised as a refinement of another one and to be treated in an appropriate way during translation to Event-B. The states and transitions of a refined statemachine can be elaborated by adding more detailed hierarchical statemachines.
 
 
==== ProB Plug-in ====
 
[[Düsseldorf]] is in charge of [[ProB]].
 
{{details|ProB current developments|ProB current developments}}
 
 
===== Work already performed =====
 
 
We have now ported ProB to work directly on the Rodin AST. Animation is working and the user can now set a limited number of preferences.
 
The model checking feature is now also accessible.
 
It is also possible to create CSP and classical B specification files. These files can be edited with BE4 and animated/model checked with ProB.
 
On the classical B side we have moved to a new, more robust parser (which is now capable of parsing some of the more complicated AtelierB
 
specifications from Siemens).
 
 
On the developer side, we have moved to a continuous integration infrastructure using CruiseControl. Rodin is also building from CVS in that infrastructure.
 
 
===== Ongoing and future developments=====
 
 
We are currently developing a new, better user interface.
 
We also plan to support multi-level animation with checking of the gluing invariant.
 
 
We have prototypes for several extensions working, but they need to be fully tested and integrated into the plugin:
 
* an inspector that allows the user to inspect complex predicates (such as invariants or guards) as well as expressions in a tree-like manner
 
* a graphical animator based on SWT that allows the user to design his/her own animations easily within the tool
 
* a 2D viewer to inspect the state space of the specification
 
 
 
 
== Exploratory Tasks ==
 
=== One Single View ===
 
[[Maria]] is in charge of this exploratory work during is internship.
 
{{details|Single View Design|Single View Design}}
 
The goal of this project is to present everything in a single view in Rodin. So the user won't have to switch perspectives.
 
 
 
 
== Others ==
 
 
=== AnimB ===
 
[[Christophe]] devotes some of its spare time for this plug-in.
 
{{details|AnimB Current Developments|AnimB Current Developments}}
 
The current developments around the [[AnimB]] plug-in encompass the following topics:
 
;Live animation update
 
:where the modification of the animated event-B model is instantaneously taken into account by the animator, without the need to restart the animation.
 
;Collecting history
 
:The history of the animation will be collected.
 
 
=== Team-Based Development ===
 
 
; Usage Scenarios
 
: In order to understand the problem properly, [http://www.stups.uni-duesseldorf.de/ Düsseldorf] created a number of usage [[Scenarios for Team-based Development]].
 
: A page as also been opened for [[Scenarios for Merging Proofs|merging proofs scenarios]].
