Rodin Platform Welcome Page

The Rodin Platform

Rodin is an open tool platform for the cost effective rigorous development of dependable complex software systems and services. This platform is based on the event-B formal method and provides natural support for refinement and mathematical proof.

This platform contributes to the Eclipse framework and is extensible using the Eclipse plug-in mechanism.

Rodin development has been partly funded by the European Commission through two RTD projects:

• project Rodin (FP6 IST project 511599), from September 2004 to October 2007,
• project Deploy (FP7 IST project 214158), since February 2008.

More information about this platform can be found on the Event-B.org web site, including user and developer documentation available as a Wiki.

The development of this platform is hosted by SourceForge.
