Validation of the ABZ Landing Gear System Using ProB

Book cover ABZ 2014: The Landing Gear Case Study (ABZ 2014)

Abstract

In this paper we present our formalisation of the ABZ landing gear case study in Event-B. The development was carried out using the Rodin platform and mainly used superposition refinement to structure the specification. To validate the model we complemented proof with animation and model checking. For the latter, we used the ProB animator and model checker. Graphical representation of the model turned out to be crucial in the development and validation of the model; this was achieved using a new version of BMotion Studio integrated into ProB 2.0.

The work in this paper is partly funded by ADVANCE, an European Commission Information and Communication Technologies FP7 project.
