Title Formal methods in practice: a comparison of two support systems for proof
Contributors
Abstract This paper discusses the use of formal methods in the light of experience gained from two industrial projects using the B Abstract Machine Notation. A simple example is presented which demonstrates the use of formal specification, refinement and proof in the B Method, and this is compared with a similar development in VDM. The role of fully formal proof is considered and, in particular, the construction of application specific theories for balancing automation and interaction in the verification of designs is explored.
