Formal refinement is used in order to deal with large and complex system descriptions.

abstract = {This chapter presents the the Requirements Modeling Framework (RMF), an Eclipse-based open source platform for requirements engineering. The core of RMF is based on the emerging Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF), which is an OMG standard. The project uses ReqIF as the central data model. At the time of this writing, RMF was the only open source implementation of the ReqIF data model.
By being based on an open standard that is currently gaining industry support, RMF can act as an interface to existing requirements management tools. Further, by based on the Eclipse platform, integration with existing Eclipse-based offerings is possible.
In this chapter, we will describe the architecture of the RMF project, as well as the underlying ReqIF standard. Further, we give an overview of the GUI, which is called ProR. A key strength of RMF and ProR is the extensibility, and we present the integration ProR with Rodin, which allows traceability between natural language requirements and Event-B formal models.

Durch ein auch nachträglich anwendbares Klassifizierungssystem, das auf dem WRSPM-Ansatz beruht, können eine Anzahl von Konsistenzkriterien der Systembeschreibung systematisch überprüft werden. Dabei wird auch eine Nachverfolgbarkeit hergestellt. In einem weiteren Schritt kann diese Nachverfolgbarkeit in einem formalen Modell fortgeführt werden (optional).

abstract = {Eclipse is an open source framework for building platform-independent GUI applications. It is managed by the Eclipse Foundation (a non-profit organization), which ensures that official Eclipse projects are interoperable and follow certain intellectual property guidelines.
Open Source in general allows organizations to remedy the risk of being dependent on one single vendor. This includes the risk of the feature set provided: users can add missing features themselves or commission their inclusion to any competent party, rather than having to rely on the vendor to implement it. It further includes the risk of maintenance and long-term support.
Eclipse in particular provides a solid, mature and open platform for desktop applications with a rich ecosystem. Many Eclipse offerings are ready to be used “as is”, thereby offering great cost savings. <>p
In this talk, we demonstrate how Eclipse can be used as an integration platform for systems engineering. We focus on RMF (Requirements Modeling Framework) as a case study on how the Eclipse ecosystem can be leveraged in a business environment. RMF is a clean-room implementation of the open ReqIF standard, which is currently being adopted by various tool vendors: The currently ongoing ReqIF Implementor Forum , which is organized by ProSTEP iViP, will ensure that the various ReqIF implementations will properly function together. We will look at both the technical and business implications.
From a business point of view, this approach promises cost savings and prevents vendor lock-in. To understand the value, we will look at the openETCS project , which is an ITEA2 EU-funded project. The purpose of this project is the development of an integrated modeling, development, validation and testing framework for leveraging the cost-efficient and reliable implementation of the European Train Control System (ETCS), based on open source technologies. While the technology choice has not yet been fi¬nalized, Eclipse is a strong candidate for realizing this project, and it being open source is a core requirement. We will present the implications of such an open platform from a business point of view for the parties involved, which are customers (e.g. Deutsche Bahn), equipment manufacturers (e.g. Siemens) service providers (e.g. Formal Mind) and, of course, the EU and its citizens.},

Requirements Traceability between Textual Requirements and Formal Models Using ProR Unpublished

abstract = {Traceability within a system description is a challenging problem of requirements engineering. In particular, formal models of the system are often based on informal requirements, but creating and maintaining the traceability between the two can be challenging. Previously, we presented an incremental approach for producing a system description from an initial set of requirements. The foundation of the approach is a classification of requirements into artefacts W (domain properties), R (requirements) and S (specification). In addition, the approach uses designated phenomena as the vocabulary employed by the artefacts. The central idea is that adequacy of the system description must be justified, meaning that W / S => R. The approach establishes a traceability, and the resulting system description may consist of formal and informal artefacts.
We created tool support for this approach by integrating Rodin and ProR ...

series = {Inaugural-Dissertation},
abstract = {Creating a system description of high quality is still a challenging problem in the field of requirements engineering. Creating a formal system description addresses some issues. However, the relationship of the formal model to the user requirements is rarely clear, or documented satisfactorily.
This work presents the ProR approach, an approach for the creation of a consistent system description from an initial set of requirements. The resulting system description is a mixture of formal and informal artefacts. Formal and informal reasoning is employed to aid in the process. To achieve this, the artefacts must be connected by traces to support formal and informal reasoning, so that conclusions about the system description can be drawn.
The ProR approach enables the incremental creation of the system description, alternating between modelling (both formal and informal) and validation. During this process, the necessary traceability for reasoning about the system description is established. The formal model employs refinement for further structuring of large and complex system descriptions. The development of the ProR approach is the first contribution of this work.
This work also presents ProR, a tool platform for requirements engineering, that supports the ProR approach. ProR has been integrated with Rodin, a tool for Event-B modelling, to provide a number of features that allow the ProR approach to scale.
The core features of ProR are independent from the ProR approach. The data model of ProR builds on the international ReqIF standard, which provides interoperability with industrial tools for requirements engineering. The development of ProR created enough interest to justify the creation of the Requirements Modeling Framework (RMF), a new Eclipse Foundation project, which is the open source host for ProR. RMF attracted an active community, and ProR development continues. The development of ProR is the second contribution of this work.
This work is accompanied by a case study of a traffic light system, which demonstrates the application of both the ProR approach and ProR.

abstract = {Anforderungsmanagement und Modellierung - schon lange ist bekannt, dass sich diese beiden Ansätze gut ergänzen, aber wie verzahnt sind sie in der Praxis wirklich? Schauen wir uns doch mal einen Ansatz wie SysML an: Zwar können damit Anforderungen mit Modellelementen verknüpft werden; aber die Anforderungen sind nach wie vor einfach nur Textblöcke.
In diesem Vortrag stellen wir einen Ansatz vor, bei dem die natürlichsprachigen Anforderungen umstrukturiert werden, um die Nachverfolgbarkeit zu Modellen zu vereinfachen. Wir basieren unsere Arbeit auf dem WRSPM-Referenzmodell von Gunter. Diese Strukturierung allein verbessert bereits die Qualität der Anforderungen. Aber noch wichtiger, sie ermöglicht eine wesentlich tiefere Verknüpfung mit einem Modell.
Unser Ansatz kann mit verschiedenen Modellen umgesetzt werden. In unserer Forschungsarbeit arbeiten wir mit der formalen Event-B-Methode. In diesem Vortrag werden wir aber auch zeigen, wie der Ansatz mit leichtgewichtigen Modellen genutzt werden kann, zum Beispiel SysML.
Einer der Hauptvorteile unseres Ansatzes ist es, dass nicht alle Anforderungen mit dem Modell verknüpft werden müssen. Denn nicht alle Anforderungen eignen sich für die Modellierung.
Neben der theoretischen Arbeit zeigen wir auch das von uns entwickelte Werkzeug ProR, das das Arbeiten mit diesem Ansatz ermöglicht. ProR ist Teil des Eclipse Foundation Projekts RMF (Requirements Modeling Framework). Mit entsprechenden Erweiterungen ist eine Integration von ReqIF-basierten Anforderungen mit Event-B oder SysML prototypisch umgesetzt worden.

abstract = {Initially, the Rodin platform for Event-B did away with a textual representation for models. In this paper, we explain why a textual representation was required after all and we present the semantic-aware text editor Camille for Rodin. We explain the design choices of Camille, such as splitting the syntax into two-levels for machine and formula syntax. We also describe the challenges, such as synchronizing the textual representation with the Rodin database, and how they were overcome using an EMF abstraction layer.},
