Visualisation of animations assists the modeller in making this assessment. UML-B is a visual 'front-end' to the Event-B notation and includes a state-machine diagram editor. Here we describe a new plug-in which, using the Pro-B model checker as animation engine, provides animation of UML-B state-machine diagrams. Multiple diagrams can be animated simultaneously so that the behaviour of refinements and/or nested state-machines can be explored. date: 2009-11 date_type: published event_title: Rodin workshop, 2009 event_location: Dusseldorf event_type: workshop institution: University of Southampton refereed: TRUE official_url: http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/268261/ citation: Savicks, Vitaly and Snook, Colin and Butler, Michael (2009) Animation of UML-B State-machines.
