Event-B and the Rodin Platform

Welcome to the Event-B.org Website

Event-B is a formal method for system-level modelling and analysis. Key features of Event-B are the use of set theory as a modelling notation, the use of refinement to represent systems at different abstraction levels and the use of mathematical proof to verify consistency between refinement levels.

The Rodin Platform is an Eclipse-based IDE for Event-B that provides effective support for refinement and mathematical proof. The platform is open source, contributes to the Eclipse framework and is further extendable with plugins.

Development of Rodin is supported by the European Union ICT Project DEPLOY (2008 to 2012). Originally Rodin development was partly funded by the European Union IST Project RODIN (2004 to 2007).

Use the menu on the left to install the Rodin platform and plug-ins. The documentation wiki contains support for tool users and developers. The DEPLOY Repository contains resources including papers, Event-B examples and training material.

Event-B is an evolution of B-Method developed by Jean-Raymond Abrial. Wikipedia contains useful information and links on the B-Method.
