ABSTRACT
Two real projects using the B formal method are quickly presented. They show how some important parts of complex systems can be developed in such a way that the outcome is "correct by construction". A number of factors are then analyzed relating the pros, the cons, and the difficulties in applying this approach in Industry.

A comparative study of two formal specification languages: Z-notation & B-method
CCSEIT '12: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Computational Science, Engineering and Information TechnologyFormal methods are mathematical techniques, which allowa software developer to develop a computer system that ismore complete, consistent and unambiguous. They provide a mathematical structure within which, a systematic manner is used to specify, ...
Towards a Formal Basis for the Formal Development Method and the Ina Jo Specification Language
Special issue on computer security and privacyIn carrying out SDC's Formal Development Method, one writes a specification of a system under design in the Ina Jo™ specification language and proves that the specification meets the requirements of the system. This paper develops an abstract machine ...
Design and Implementation of a Tool for Specifying Specification in SOFL
Revised Selected Papers of the Second International Workshop on Structured Object-Oriented Formal Language and Method - Volume 7787Structure Object-oriented Formal Language SOFL is not just a formal language for writing formal specification. It is also an approach and a methodology. SOFL provides a three-step approach for modelling a software system using formal specification. ...
