"438","UML-B and Event-B: an integration of languages and tools","UML-B is a graphical front end for Event-B. It adds support for class-oriented modelling but retains the Event-B concept of a closed system characterized by families of spontaneous events. UML-B is similar to UML but is essentially a new notation based on a separate meta-model. We provide tool support for UML-B, including drawing tools and a translator to generate Event-B models. The tools are closely integrated with the Event-B verification tools so that when a drawing is saved the translator automatically generates the corresponding Event-B model. The Event-B verification tools (syntax checker and prover) then run automatically providing an immediate display of problems. We introduce the UML-B notation its tool support and its integration with Event-B.","http://deploy-eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/438/","Snook, Colin and Butler, Michael","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Snook, Colin</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Butler, Michael</span>     (2008)  <a href=\"http://deploy-eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/438/\"><em>UML-B and Event-B: an integration of languages and tools.</em></a>       In: The IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering - SE2008.
