Modeling in Event-B

'This present book is the definitive treatment of the new B dialect, written by its creator. Unlike its classical B predecessor which is intended as a reference for the classical B methodology, the present volume is squarely aimed at teaching, though the considerably lighter theory of Event-B permits some of the chapters to act as a reference too.' logcom.oxfordjournals.org

'… a rich and accessible book, demonstrating both the strengths and weaknesses of the use of Event-B, and containing varied and valuable case studies as its core. It is written in a pleasant colloquial style, with changes in the vocal tempo and tone leaping off the pages. … should be seriously considered for introductory courses on formal modelling with associated proof.'
