Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent software systems are increasingly complex and their dependability assurance is challenging. In this work, we investigated methods and tools to support complexity mitigation and consistency assurance by targeting the Event-B method, one of formal methods that uses multi-step models with different abstraction levels (stepwise refinement). The core of the contributions is refactoring method and tool that change the structure of the steps without breaking the consistency to improve understandability, verifiability, and reusability. This work also extended the output not only to the Event-B method but also to general methods for requirements analysis.
