This tutorial follows on from the abstract development described [http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Development_of_a_Heating_Controller_System here].


This code generation tutorial extends the Heating Controller tutorial example, and makes use of example projects from the download site. The code generation stage produces implementable Ada code, and also an Event-B model. It is a model of the implementation, and contains flow control variables that model the flow of execution through the task body. The Ada code is produced from an intermediate model that is not visible to the user. The Common Language model (CLM), is generated from the Tasking Event-B by a translation tool. Ada (and other implementations) may be generated from the CLM. An overview of Tasking Event-B can be found [http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Tasking_Event-B_Overview here].

In the example so far, the Heating Controller has been refined to the point where we wish to add implementation constructs. 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 modelling tasks, shared objects and the environment are identified, and  extended with the appropriate implementation details.

=== Download and Copy the Theories ===
The translations of the Event-B mathematical language to the target language constructs are specified as rules in the theory plug-in. Example rule files are included for the example, and are available in MathExtension from the [https://github.com/andyed2003/codeGenTheoryRepo Git] repository, or clone [https://github.com/andyed2003/codeGenTheoryRepo.git this]. After checking out the theories, they must be un-deployed, then re-deployed, ensuring that the builder creates all of the appropriate files. Right-Click on the theory file and select deploy to do this. If you already have a MathExtensions folder then it should be renamed else the import will be prevented. Files from this folder can be copied and deployed in the new folder if necessary.
 
=== Adding the Implementation Level Refinement ===
The final decomposition generates the machines that are required for code generation. However, it is not possible to edit the machines since they are machine generated, and therefore this is prohibited. In order to be able to modify the models we will refine the generated machines. This is where we begin with the ''Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Partial1'' project (Where the pre-processing steps, described below, have been performed already). To refine the machines we can use the automatic refinement feature, but this presents us with two problems that are dealt with in the pre-processing steps.  


=== Pre-processing ===
=== Pre-processing ===
The pre-processing step, described here, is done automatically by the tool. The description is provided to assist with understanding the changes that occur to a model, during the code generation phase.
* The Code Generator requires a flattened, and annotated, version of each machine; all of the Event-B elements are made available in the implementation level machine.


===== 'Flattening' the Implementation Machines =====
===== 'Flattening' the Implementation Machines =====


?????????????
* Events are changed to be ''not extended''.
* Abstract invariants are copied to the implementation level machine.


===== Providing the correct Composed Machine =====
===== Annotations are provided automatically =====


?????????????
* Typing annotations are added to typing invariants and axioms where they type variables and constants.
* Parameter directions (in or out) are inferred from the events.


=== Manually correcting the Composed Machine ===


=== The Temp_Ctrl_Task1Impl Machine ===
The hierarchy created by successive machine decompositions gives rise to a tree of refined events. Only the leaf event nodes are used during code generation. In the current code generator there is no algorithm to navigate this tree automatically. Therefore the composed machine points to the incorrect machines and events.
In the partially complete tutorial project we have already identified the ''Temp_Ctrl_Task1Impl'' as an ''Auto Task'' Tasking Machine, by adding the ''Auto Task'' extension. ''Auto Tasks'' are tasks that will be declared and defined in the ''Main'' procedure of the implementation. The effect of this is that the ''Auto Tasks'' are created when the program first loads, and then activated (made ready to run) before the ''Main'' procedure body runs. We have set the task type to ''Periodic'', and set a period of 250 milliseconds. We have provided a screenshot of the completed ''Temp_Ctrl_Task1Impl'' [http://wiki.event-b.org/images/Temp_Ctrl_Task1Impl.pdf here], it can be read in conjunction with the tutorial.


The next step is to construct the task body using the TaskBody Editor, with control constructs such as sequence, branch, loop and output. These constructs are discussed in the [http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Tasking_Event-B_Overview overview] of Tasking Event-B. We will now complete the sequence that has been partially defined in the task body.
We must manually change the composed machine to address this problem.


?????????????????????????????
* Modify the lowest level decomposed machine, HCtrl_M1_cmp, to ''include'' the implementation level machines (task names ending in *Impl). To do this,
* open the composed machine editor. Open the INCLUDES edit feature.
* Select the second drop-down box and find the *Impl version of each machine.
* Save the composed machine.
* Now add missing synchronizations to the composed machine. Add the ''Envir1Impl'' to the includes of HCtrl_M1_cmp.
* Each composed event in the task, that synchronizes with the Environ machine, must have the remote event synchronization added manually. This can only be done by inspection of each composed event. We need to update Sense_Temperatures, Display_Current_Temperature, Actuate_OverHeat_Alram, Actuate_Heat_Source, Sense_Heater_Status, Actuate_NoHeat_Alarm, Sense_PressIncrease_Target_Temperature, Sense_PressDecrease_Target_Temperature, Display_Target_Temperature. One by one, expand the events in the composed events section of the composed machine editor; add a new event in the combines events section, select ''Envir1Impl'' and add the synchronizing event from the list-box to the right.


By relating the sensing events in this way we describe a simulation of the interaction between the task and environment. The details of the interaction are embodied in the events themselves; and this is implemented in the simulation code by reading the values of the environment variables.
=== Removing Non-deterministic Constructs ===


Next we look at the sensing event ''TCSense_Temperatures'' event in ''Temp_Ctrl_Task1Impl''. Sensing (and actuating) can be viewed as a kind of synchronisation. Synchronisation between tasks and shared objects are represented as subroutine calls. The sensing/actuating synchronisations only occur between tasks and the environment.  
It is also at this stage that any remaining non-deterministic constructs should be removed by replacing them with deterministic constructs.


*'''Add The Sensed Event Extension'''.
TIP: Non-deterministic constructs cause strange characters to appear in the source code. If you see strange characters in the generated code, check for non-deterministic constructs in the implementation level machines.
** Right-click on the ''TCSense_Temperatures'' Event node.
** Select ''New Child/Implementation'' from the menu.
** Go to the Implementation properties view and set the ''Implementation Type'' property to ''Sensing''.


=== The Shared Machine ===
Alter_Temperature_Sensor1 in Envir1Impl: action becomes ts1 := ts1 + 1
Alter_Temperature_Sensor2 in Envir1Impl: action becomes ts1 := ts1 + 1
Alter_Heater_Status in Envir1Impl: action becomes hss := FALSE
INITIALISATION in Heater_Monitor_TaskImpl: becomes shs := FALSE


The next step is to identify the ''Shared_Object1Impl'' machine as a ''Shared Machine''. A screenshot of the [http://wiki.event-b.org/images/Shared_Object1Impl.pdf Shared_Object1Impl] shared machine can be read in conjunction with the text.
=== Adding Tasking Event-B ===
* Optionally collapse open branches of the EMF editor to remove clutter. 
* Right-click on the ''Shared_Object'' Machine node in the Rose Editor.
* Select ''New Child/Shared Machine'' from the menu.


=== The Environ Machine ===
*Setting Context attributes.
In the prepared machine we have identified the ''Envir1Impl'' as an ''Environ Machine'', by adding the ''Environ Machine'' extension. ''Envir1Impl'' models a task that simulates the environment, and can be used to generate simulation code. For deployment in a non-simulated environment the environ machine's generated code can be ignored; we provide details of non-simulated code using addressed variables later. As before, a screenshot is available [http://wiki.event-b.org/images/Envir1Impl_2.pdf here]. In the prepared Environment Machine we have already set task type to ''Periodic'' extension, and set a period of 100 milliseconds.
**Using the project ''Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Partial1''.  
**Open the context, select the Tasking Context drop-down box, and select Tasking, as the type for the context.  
We will now complete the sequence that has been partially defined in the task body. The following specification models simulation of a temperature change; the temperature value is represented by a monitored variable in the environment. The generated code simulates the temperature change in the environment by changing the monitored value.


*'''Model Temperature Change in the environment'''.
Each Machine should be completed as follows.
??????
==== The Temp_Ctrl_TaskImpl Machine ====
During this part of the tutorial we will cut and paste from ''Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Completed'' model when, specifying the task bodies, to save typing. We use the 'Event-B Machine Editor' to edit the Tasking Event-B.


* Output to the screen during the simulation can be specified as follows:
*In the Tasking section of the Event-B editor, click on + to add a new Machine Type construct.
??????
**The machine type defaults to ''Auto Task''.
**Click on the right-arrow symbol by ''Machine Type''.
**Add a new Task Type section by clicking on its green + symbol.
**A Machine Type element is added. The task type defaults to ''Periodic''
**Set a period of 250 milliseconds.
*'''Add a new TaskBody'''.
**Add a new Task Body section by clicking on its green + symbol.
**Copy and paste the task body from ''Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Completed/Temp_Ctrl_TaskImpl''
**Save the model. Ignore the highlighted typing errors, since these annotations will be added by the code generator during pre-processing.


The generated code will print the text, and the value of the variable, to the screen.  
''Auto Tasks'' are tasks that will be declared and defined in the ''Main'' procedure of the implementation. The effect of this is that the ''Auto Tasks'' are created when the program first loads, and then activated (made ready to run) before the ''Main'' procedure body runs.


The final step is to complete the ''ENSense_Temperatures'' event. The event is a sensing event, sensing is a kind of synchronisation, it synchronises with the ''TCSense_Temperatures'' event in the ''Temp_Ctrl_Task1'' tasking machine. We add formal parameters annotations corresponding to the actual parameters that we have already defined in the task.
==== The Shared Machine ====


*'''Add The Sensed Event Extension'''.
The next step is to identify the ''Shared_ObjectImpl'' machine as a ''Shared Machine''.
** Right-click on the ''ENSense_Temperatures'' Event node.
*Open the Tasking Section.
** Select ''New Child/Implementation'' from the menu.
*Add a Machine Type by clicking +.
** Go to the Implementation properties view and set the ''Implementation Type'' property to ''Sensing''.
* Select ''Shared'' in the Machine Type drop Down box.


We have identified the event as a sensing event. Now we add the parameter direction:
==== The Environ Machine ====
We identify the ''Envir1Impl'' as an ''Environ Machine'',


=== A Summary of Steps ===
*Click on +,  in the Machine Editor, to add a to add a Tasking Section.
For a Tasking Machine definition:
*A Machine Type element is created.
# Add the Tasking Machine type (Auto etc).
*Select ''Environ Machine'' in the drop down box.  
# Set the task type (Periodic etc.).
# Set the task priority.

**Set a period of 100 milliseconds.
*'''Add a new TaskBody'''.

For an Environ Machine definition:
In the implementation, ''Environ Tasks'' are declared and defined in the ''Main'' procedure . The ''Envir1Impl'' machine models a task that simulates the environment, and can be used to generate simulation code. For deployment in a non-simulated environment the environ machine's generated code can be ignored. To specify the Environment task's behaviour we add edit the task body.
# Make the type an Environ Machine type.
 
# Set the task type Periodic; a shorter period than the shortest task period is best for simulation.
When saving, the task body text is sent to the parser. If parsing is successful then a builder adds the structure to the underlying EMF tree. If parsing fails then an error panel displays the source of the error.
# Set the task priority.
# Specify the task body, it will contain a simulation of changes in the environment.
# For each sensing/actuating event, add the Event Type.

Tasking Event-B Tutorial Overview

This tutorial follows on from the abstract development described here.

This code generation tutorial extends the Heating Controller tutorial example, and makes use of example projects from the download site. The code generation stage produces Java code, and also an Event-B model. It is a model of the implementation, and contains flow control variables that model the flow of execution through the task body. The Java code is produced from an intermediate model that is not visible to the user. The Common Language model (CLM), is generated from the Tasking Event-B by a translation tool. Java (and other implementations) may be generated from the CLM. An overview of Tasking Event-B can be found here.

In the example so far, the Heating Controller has been refined to the point where we wish to add implementation constructs. 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 modelling tasks, shared objects and the environment are identified, and extended with the appropriate implementation details.

The example/tutorial projects are are available from Git or clone this.

Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Partial1 A project with the final decomposition completed, ready to begin Tasking Event-B Development.

Using the Tasking Extension

The steps needed to generate code from an Event-B model, in this tutorial, are as follows,

Download and Copy the Theories

The translations of the Event-B mathematical language to the target language constructs are specified as rules in the theory plug-in. Example rule files are included for the example, and are available in MathExtension from the Git repository, or clone this. After checking out the theories, they must be un-deployed, then re-deployed, ensuring that the builder creates all of the appropriate files. Right-Click on the theory file and select deploy to do this. If you already have a MathExtensions folder then it should be renamed else the import will be prevented. Files from this folder can be copied and deployed in the new folder if necessary.

Adding the Implementation Level Refinement

The final decomposition generates the machines that are required for code generation. However, it is not possible to edit the machines since they are machine generated, and therefore this is prohibited. In order to be able to modify the models we will refine the generated machines. This is where we begin with the Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Partial1 project (Where the pre-processing steps, described below, have been performed already). To refine the machines we can use the automatic refinement feature, but this presents us with two problems that are dealt with in the pre-processing steps.

Pre-processing

The pre-processing step, described here, is done automatically by the tool. The description is provided to assist with understanding the changes that occur to a model, during the code generation phase.

  • The Code Generator requires a flattened, and annotated, version of each machine; all of the Event-B elements are made available in the implementation level machine.
'Flattening' the Implementation Machines
  • Events are changed to be not extended.
  • Abstract invariants are copied to the implementation level machine.
Annotations are provided automatically
  • Typing annotations are added to typing invariants and axioms where they type variables and constants.
  • Parameter directions (in or out) are inferred from the events.

The hierarchy created by successive machine decompositions gives rise to a tree of refined events. Only the leaf event nodes are used during code generation. In the current code generator there is no algorithm to navigate this tree automatically. Therefore the composed machine points to the incorrect machines and events.

One by one, expand the events in the composed events section of the composed machine editor; add a new event in the combines events section, select Envir1Impl and add the synchronizing event from the list-box to the right.

Removing Non-deterministic Constructs

It is also at this stage that any remaining non-deterministic constructs should be removed by replacing them with deterministic constructs.

TIP: Non-deterministic constructs cause strange characters to appear in the source code. If you see strange characters in the generated code, check for non-deterministic constructs in the implementation level machines.

Alter_Temperature_Sensor1 in Envir1Impl: action becomes ts1 := ts1 + 1
Alter_Temperature_Sensor2 in Envir1Impl: action becomes ts1 := ts1 + 1
Alter_Heater_Status in Envir1Impl: action becomes hss := FALSE
INITIALISATION in Heater_Monitor_TaskImpl: becomes shs := FALSE

Adding Tasking Event-B

  • Setting Context attributes.
    • Using the project Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Partial1.
    • Open the context, select the Tasking Context drop-down box, and select Tasking, as the type for the context.

Each Machine should be completed as follows.

The Temp_Ctrl_TaskImpl Machine

During this part of the tutorial we will cut and paste from Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Completed model when, specifying the task bodies, to save typing. We use the 'Event-B Machine Editor' to edit the Tasking Event-B.

  • In the Tasking section of the Event-B editor, click on + to add a new Machine Type construct.
    • The machine type defaults to Auto Task.
    • Click on the right-arrow symbol by Machine Type.
    • Add a new Task Type section by clicking on its green + symbol.
    • A Machine Type element is added. The task type defaults to Periodic
    • Set a period of 250 milliseconds.
  • Add a new TaskBody.
    • Add a new Task Body section by clicking on its green + symbol.
    • Copy and paste the task body from Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Completed/Temp_Ctrl_TaskImpl
    • Save the model. Ignore the highlighted typing errors, since these annotations will be added by the code generator during pre-processing.

Auto Tasks are tasks that will be declared and defined in the Main procedure of the implementation. The effect of this is that the Auto Tasks 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 Shared_ObjectImpl machine as a Shared Machine.

  • Open the Tasking Section.
  • Add a Machine Type by clicking +.
  • Select Shared in the Machine Type drop Down box.

The Environ Machine

We identify the Envir1Impl as an Environ Machine,

  • Click on +, in the Machine Editor, to add a to add a Tasking Section.
  • A Machine Type element is created.
  • Select Environ Machine in the drop down box.
  • In the Tasking section of the Event-B editor, click on + to add a new Machine Type construct.
    • The machine type defaults to Auto Task, change it to Environ.
    • Click on the right-arrow symbol by Machine Type.
    • Add a new Task Type section by clicking on its green + symbol.
    • A Machine Type element is added. The task type defaults to Periodic
    • Set a period of 100 milliseconds.
  • Add a new TaskBody.
    • Add a new Task Body section by clicking on its green + symbol.
    • Copy and paste the task body from Heating_ControllerTutorial2_Completed/Envir1Impl
    • Save the model.

In the implementation, Environ Tasks are declared and defined in the Main procedure . The Envir1Impl machine models a task that simulates the environment, and can be used to generate simulation code. For deployment in a non-simulated environment the environ machine's generated code can be ignored. To specify the Environment task's behaviour we add edit the task body.

When saving, the task body text is sent to the parser. If parsing is successful then a builder adds the structure to the underlying EMF tree. If parsing fails then an error panel displays the source of the error.

Invoking the Translators

  • To generate code,
    • Right-Click on the composed machine, or any tasking machine in the development, select Code Generation/Translate Event-B to xx where xx is the chosen language.
    • Open the generated code directory in the project to view the source files.
  • To create the Event-B model of the implementation,
    • Right-Click on the composed machine, or any tasking machine in the development, select Code Generation/Translate Tasking Event-B to Event-B.
    • The Event-B model should be updated with the flow control variables. Users are not able to manually edit the generated elements. The additions can be removed using the menu option Code Generation/Remove Generated Event-B

Generated Code

Generated code will be visible in the code directory, in the Event-B project. However a refresh of the workspace is required. The directory is visible in the resource view; or alternatively, click on the view menu in the Event-B perspective, select customize view, and uncheck the all file and folders filter.
