Translating event-B to JML-specified Java programs

Abstract

We present a translation from Event-B machines to JML-specified Java class implementations and the EventB2Java Rodin plug-in that automates the translation. Producing JML specifications in addition to Java implementations enables users to write bespoke implementations that can then be checked for correctness using existing JML tools. We have validated the proposed translation by applying the EventB-2Java tool to various programs and systems.
