'''LTL Fairness'''
−
The mathematical language used in Event-B has so far been fixed in the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). See [http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Event-B_Mathematical_Language Mathematical Language] for more details. However, in Rodin 2.0, support for customized operator has been introduced.
 
  
−
Prior to Rodin 2.0, since the AST of Event-B mathematical language was fixed, it was not possible to defined reusable polymorphic operators and datatypes. A workaround was to define any required operators as set constructs in contexts. Originally, contexts were supposed to provide a parametrization of machines. The aforementioned limitations of the AST lead to users to use contexts for purposes for which they were not intentionally devised. Examples of operators that can be useful to users include the sequence operator and the bag operator.

The Theory plug-in is a Rodin extension that provides the facility to define mathematical extensions as well as prover extensions.

Mathematical extensions are new operator definitions and new datatype definitions. Operator definitions can be expression operators (card) and predicate operators (finite). Datatypes extensions can be used to define enumerated datatypes (DIRECTION) as well as inductive datatypes (Tree).
 
  
−
The placeholder for mathematical and prover extensions is a Theory construct which looks similar to contexts and machines. A theory can include datatypes definitions, operator definitions, inference and rewrite rules. In this user manual, we provide a step-by-step guide to developing and using theories.

Support for physical units has been extended to theories along with the general theory-related improvements of ProB mentioned in the previous paragraph.

The plug-in was ported to Rodin 3, all bugfixes and changes could be back ported to Rodin 2 successfully.

===Capabilities===

Further extension to the unit analysis include:

* Support for the analysis of units throughout refinement relations.
 +
* Support for abstract units like "length" that can later be concretised to standard SI units.

Physical Units

The physical units analysis has been further stabilised, several reported bugs have been fixed. Support for physical units has been extended to theories along with the general theory-related improvements of ProB mentioned in the previous paragraph. The plug-in was ported to Rodin 3, all bugfixes and changes could be back ported to Rodin 2 successfully.

Further extension to the unit analysis include:

  • Support for the analysis of units throughout refinement relations.
  • Support for abstract units like "length" that can later be concretised to standard SI units.

ProB
The ProB Website[1] is the place where we collect information on the ProB toolset. There are several tutorials on ProB available in the User manual section. We also supply documentation on extending ProB for developers.

In addition we run a bug tracking system[2] to document known bugs, workarounds and feature requests.
