Abstract

This article presents a set of translation rules to generate Event-B machines from process-algebra based specification languages such as astd. Illustrated by a case study, it details the rules and the process of the translation. The ultimate goal of this systematic translation is to take advantage of Rodin, the Event-B platform to perform proofs, animation and model-checking over the translated specification.
