Abstract:

Recently, Space Systems Finland has undertaken formal Event B development of a part of
the on-board software for the BepiColombo space mission. As a result, lack of modularisation
mechanisms in Event B has been identified as a serious obstacle to scalability. One of the
main benefits of modularisation is that it allows us to decompose system models into
components that can be independently developed. It also helps to manage complexity of
models that in the industrial setting are usually very large and difficult to comprehend. On the
other hand, modularisation enables reuse of formally developed components in the formal
product line development. In this paper we propose a conservative extension of Event B
formalism to support modularisation. We demonstrate how our approach can support reuse in
the formal development in the space domain.
