Rodin Plug-in Documentation

Modelling

• Text Editor augments the standard structured editor of Rodin with a text editor.
• Rodin Editor augments the standard structured editor of Rodin with a structured text based editor.
• Records provide structured types for Event-B.
• UML-B provides a 'UML-like' graphical front end for Event-B.
• Parallel Composition using Event-B allows the composition of machines through events for Event-B.
• Decomposition Plug-in allows the decomposition of Event-B machines/contexts (shared variables (A-style) and shared events decomposition (B-style))
• Refactoring Framework allows the refactoring of elements that are part of file (and also on related files).
• Rose (Structured) Editor a model structured editor.
• Flows plug-in allows the addition of control flow to a machine.
• Modularisation Plug-in provides a mechanism for constructing and proving modular developments.
• Mode/FT Views plug-in brings modelling of modal and fault tolerance features.
• Team-based development enables Event-B models to be stored in a shared repository (e.g. SVN).
• Qualitative Probability provides supports for reasoning about termination with probability 1 (almost-certain termination).

Animation

• ProB is an animator and model checker for the B-Method,
• AnimB is an animator for the Rodin platform,
• UML-B - Statemachine Animation provides an animation (using Pro-B) of UML-B State-machines,

Visualization

• BMotion Studio a visual editor which enables the developer of a formal model to set-up easily a domain specific visualization.

Documentation

• ReqsManagement offer supports for requirements management.
• B2Latex allows to typeset an event-B model with latex,

Theory and Proof

• Isabelle for Rodin: Prove proof obligations with Isabelle/HOL. Export proof obligations to Isabelle/HOL theories.
• Theory Plug-in provides capabilities to extend the Event-B mathematical language and the Rodin proving infrastructure.
• Proof Purger offers to delete unused proofs.
• Proof Skeleton View displays the skeleton of existing proofs.
• SMT Plug-in provides interface for SMT solvers.
• Relevance Filter Plug-in Uses heuristics to filter hypotheses shown to the prover

Code Generation

• EventB2JML translates EventB machines into JML specifications.
• EventB2Dafny translates EventB proof-obligations into the input language of Dafny.
• EB2ALL (Beta Version) supports automatic code generation from Event-B to C, C++, Java and C#.
• Multitasking code generation supports generation of multi-tasking Ada code from Event-B.
• B2C translates Event-B models to C source code, which may then be compiled using external C development tools.
• EHDL The plug-in enables VHDL code generation from formal Event-B models automatically.

Experimental

• Group Refinement changes the set of refinement laws for one refinement step to facilitate a case of atomicity refinement.
• Model Critic is an extension using the Epsilon scripting language to analyse Event-B models
• Feature Composition Plug-in allows the composition of Event-B features (machines|contexts) and helps the user in resolving conflicts before composition.
• Feature Modelling Tool (prototype) can be used to build feature models for product lines and configure these to generate product line members.
• Pattern allows the reusing of existing models within a development in order to save the modelling and proving effort.
• Project Diagram displays the diagram of a Rodin project.
• Event-B Statemachines adds state machines directly to your Event-B models and also allows to animate them.
• MBT plugin can be used to generate test sequences covering the events of an Event-B model.
• Transformation patterns allow writing and running transformation scripts in EOL over Event-B models.
