Event-B is a formal method with support tools that allows the stepwise development of reactive systems. Such systems include multi-agent systems as a subclass. In this paper, we propose an approach to specify capabilities of a number of software agents. We then verify whether these capabilities help the agents to accomplish a certain task using a supported tool for Event-B. We use the binary numeral system as a case study to illustrate our approach. date: 2009 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/SEFM.2009.24 id_number: doi:10.1109/SEFM.2009.24 full_text_status: none pres_type: paper pagerange: 201-209 event_title: Seventh IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods event_location: Hanoi, Vietnam event_dates: 23-27 November 2009 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE book_title: 2009 Seventh IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods citation: Truong, Ninh Thuan and Trinh, Thanh Binh and Nguyen, Viet Ha (2009) Coordinated Consensus Analysis of Multi-agent Systems Using Event-B.
