“…The increase in size shown in Table 3 did not pose any problems to Rodin editors, either the native structural editor or pluggable text-editors such as Camille [5]. Likewise, visualization tools such as the LaTeX generator or the pretty-printer were up to the task.…”

Abstract. Ability to scale up from toy examples to real life problems is a crucial issue for formal methods. Formalizing a algorithm used in vehicle automation (platooning control) in a certification perspective, we had the opportunity to study the scaling up when going from a (toy) model in 1D to a (more realistic) model in 2D. The formalism, Event-B, belongs to the family of mathematical state based methods. Increase was quantitative: 3 times more events and 4 times more proofs; and qualitative: trigonometric functions and integrals are used. Edition and verification of the specification scale up well. The crucial part of the work was the adaptation of the mathematical and physical model through standard heuristics. The validation of temporal properties and behaviors do not scale up so well. Analysis of the difficulties suggests improvements in both tool support and formalism.

“…Overall tool support for Event‐B is good, and some of the tools are already well proven in use with B. The main tool is the Eclipse‐based platform Rodin, a highly customizable platform into which extra tools can be plugged, including alternative editors (eg, Camille), different provers and model checkers (eg, ProB), a requirements traceability tool (eg, ProR), simulation and visualization tools (eg, JeB), documentation tools, etc. Rodin itself provides the look‐and‐feel familiar to all developers who use Eclipse.…”

Evaluating the suitability of state‐based formal methods for industrial deployment

After a number of success stories in safety-critical domains, we are starting to witness applications of formal methods in contemporary systems and software engineering. However, one thing that is still missing is the evaluation criteria that help software practitioners choose the right formal method for the problem at hand. In this paper, we present the criteria for evaluating and comparing different formal methods. The criteria were chosen through a literature review, discussions with experts from academia and practitioners from industry, and decade-long personal experience with the application of formal methods in industrial and academic projects. The criteria were then evaluated on several model-oriented state-based formal methods. Our research shows that besides technical grounds (eg, modeling capabilities and supported development phases), formal methods should also be evaluated from social and industrial perspectives. We also found out that it is not possible to generate a matrix that renders the selection of the right formal method an automatic process. However, we can generate several pointers, which make this selection process a lot less cumbersome.

SUMMARY In this paper, we present the idea of developing an editor for MAchine‐Readable Cataloguing records that is part of a library management system. The idea was realized and implemented as a part of the library management system BISIS. The objective was to generate an Eclipse plug‐in of the editor in an Xtext environment by specifying the Xtext grammar and generating an Eclipse Modelling Framework model of the MAchine‐Readable Cataloguing record. The next step was to specify additional features of the editor in the Xtext environment such as content assist and constraints on the record used for checking the correctness of the input. The implementation of additional functionalities of the editor was carried out in the Eclipse plug‐in development environment, and user interface components were implemented by using Standard Widget Toolkit and JFace libraries. A special emphasis is placed on the Eclipse extension model that relies on the Open Services Gateway initiative standard and enables efficient implementation of the systems with a component‐based, service‐oriented architecture. We took advantage of that model and created an extensible and adoptable application that can be used by any database management system and can be integrated in other library management systems. Finally, we discuss a possible way of extracting applications from Eclipse by using Rich Client Platform technology. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
