@InProceedings{ hallerstede.ea:qualitative:2007, abstract = {Event-B is a notation and method for discrete systems modelling by refinement. We introduce a small but very useful construction: qualitative probabilistic choice. It extends the expressiveness of Event-B allowing us to prove properties of systems that could not be formalised in Event-B before. We demonstrate this by means of a small example, part of a larger Event-B development that could not be fully proved before. An important feature of the introduced construction is that it does not complicate the existing Event-B notation or method, and can be explained without referring to the underlying more complicated probabilistic theory. The necessary theory [18] itself is briefly outlined in this article to justify the soundness of the proof obligations given. We also give a short account of alternative constructions that we explored, and rejected.}, author = {Stefan Hallerstede and Thai Son Hoang}, booktitle = {Integrated Formal Methods, 6th International Conference, IFM 2007}, copyright = 2007, copyrighturl = {http://www.springer.com/rights?SGWID=0-122-0-0-0}, isbn = {978-3-540-73209-9}, language = {USenglish}, note = {This research was carried out as part of the EU research project IST 511599 RODIN (Rigorous Open Development Environment for Complex Systems) http://rodin.cs.ncl.ac.uk.}, pages = {293--312}, pdf = {papers/2007/evtbprob.pdf}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, title = {Qualitative Probabilistic Modelling in Event-B}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73210-5_16}, volume = 4591, year = 2007, user = {htson} }
