BCS-FACS Evening Seminar

Incremental Development of Distributed Systems

Professor Michael Butler

University of Southampton

10 May 2007

5.45pm

BCS London Offices
First Floor
The Davidson Building
5 Southampton Street
London WC2E 7HA

An incremental approach to the formal development of distributed
systems
is achievable using state-based modelling and verification of
refinement
between models. The important features of distributed systems can be
represented using state-based modelling. Formal modelling and
verification
leads to deep insight and cleaner architecture. The significance of an
incremental approach is that it enables the factorisation of the
intellectual
design effort and the proof effort into manageable parts. Strong tool
support
for managing and proving model refinements are essential and exist in
the
form of tools for B and Event-B.

Refreshments will be served from 5.15pm

The seminar is free of charge and open to everyone. If you would like
to
attend, please email Paul Boca [ Paul.Boca@googlemail.com] by
8 May 2007. Pre-registration is required, as security at the BCS
Offices is tight.
