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
