Description/Abstract

A proposal is made for the development of a feature-oriented reuse capability for safety-critical software construction using rigorous methods. We pr´ecis the Event-B language - the evolution of the B-Method of J.-R. Abrial [1] - a leading formal method for safety-critical software development. Current and new infrastructure for scalable development with Event-B is outlined, and contrasted with support required for feature-oriented development. The proposal is illustrated by a small example of feature-oriented construction and refinement with Event-B.
