D45 Prover Enhancement
Overview
- Two tasks concerned the prover performance from the core platform: the addition of rewriting and inference rules, and the addition of a mechanism to allow the customization and the parametrization or combination of tactics. While the addition of rewriting and inference rules has always been a regular task to enhance the Rodin integrated prover during DEPLOY lifetime, a new way to manage tactics has been implemented. In fact, the user is now able to define various types of tactics called 'profiles' which could be customized and parameterized tactics to discharge some specific proof obligations.
- TODO An overview of the contribution about the ProB Disprover (Daniel Plagge, Jens Bendiposto)
- The SMT Solvers plug-in allowing to use the SMT solvers within Rodin is an effective alternative to the Atelier-B provers, particularly when reasoning on linear arithmetic. TODO (Laurent Voisin, Yoann Guyot)
Motivations
New rewriting and inference rules
In an Event-B development, more than 60% of the time is spent on proofs. It has been a continuous aim to increase the number of automatically discharged proof obligations (POs) by improving the capabilities of the integrated sequent prover through the addition of rewriting and inference rules. These rules were provided through tactics, or existing or newly created. These tactics were automatic, or manual, or sometimes both. Providing new proving rules, even if it sometimes does not increase directly the number of automatically discharged POs aims to help the user to interactively discharge them and spare his time.
