Industrial Deployment of System Engineering Methods

Abstract

Together with many Rodin plug-ins, the Rodin platform supports the application of refinement-based development using Event-B and linked methods. This chapter outlines the management of the development and evolution of these tools during the lifetime of the DEPLOY project in response to deployment needs and methodological developments. The planning and maintenance process is described and a range of specific tool features developed to meet specific needs are outlined.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Named after Camille Claudel (1864–1943), a French sculptor and graphic artist. She also was Rodin’s source of inspiration, his model, confidante and lover.

  2. 2.

  3. 3.

    This claim rests on the assumption that the implementation of the translation is correct. We regard this a reasonable assumption, as the implementation of the translation is quite straightforward and concise.
