Abstract

This paper contains a further contribution to the handling of hybrid systems as presented in [3]. This time we insist on the usage of multiple methodologies involving not only refinements and proofs as in Event-B and the Rodin Platform, but also Matlab simulation, Animation, and Invariant discovery. We believe that a successful understanding of hybrid systems has to be done in this way by involving several distinct methodologies that are complementary. The paper also presents many examples illustrating the approach.
