Event-B Day 2014

Oct 31 2014

19F Conference Room, National Institute of Informatics

Event-B is a formal method for the system level modelling and analysis of dependable applications. It is supported by an open and extendable Eclipse-based toolset called Rodin, which has been developed in a series of European projects. This one day event aims to bring the community of Event-B/Rodin users and developers together to discuss new and emerging issues in applying and advancing both the Event-B method and the Rodin platform as well as address challenges that industrial takers are facing while deploying them.
