Architecture

The "Connection" between a Requirements Document (managed and edited outside Rodin) and an Event-B Machine is a .req file. This file can manage any number of Requirements Documents.

Package Structure

The package name space is fr.systerel.reqsmgr

• The elemnts-Package contains the interfaces to the entities inside Rodin, which are Associations, Documents and Requirements. The elements.basis package provides implementations of those interfaces. This package is a good starting point for understanding the data structures.

• The exteranl_docs package contains the interfaces to entities outside Rodin, which are Document, ExternalRequirement, etc.
