%S LNCS %A Stefan Hallerstede %A Michael Leuschel %A Daniel Plagge %T Refinement-Animation for Event-B - Towards a Method of Validation %X We provide a detailed description of refinement in Event-B, both as a contribution in itself and as a foundation for the approach to simultaneous animation of multiple levels of refinement that we propose. We present an algorithm for simultaneous multi-level animation of refinement, and show how it can be used to detect a variety of errors that occur frequently when using refinement. The algorithm has been implemented in ProB and we applied it to several case studies, showing that multi-level animation is tractable also on larger models. %I Springer-Verlag %L deploy186 %B Proceedings ABZ 2010
