Rodin User's Handbook

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 modeling 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 extendible with plugins. This book provides a tutorial for new users and a reference about the Rodin platform, the Event-B modeling notation and its mathematical toolkit. The handbook is licensed as Creative Commons CC-SA.
