Abstract

In this paper, we investigate how to represent the behaviour of B abstract systems by finite labelled transition systems (LTS). We choose to decompose the state of an abstract system in several disjunctive predicates. These predicates provide the basis for defining a set of states which are the nodes of the LTS, while the events are the transitions. We have carried out a connection between the B environment (Atelier B) and the Cæsar/Aldebaran Development Package (CADP) which is able to deal with LTS. We illustrate the method by developing the SCSI-2 (Small Computer Systems Interface) input-output system. Finally, we discuss about the outcomes of this method and about its applicability.
