Abstract

The French BOM (B with Optimised Memory) project has analysed issues related to code generation from B specifications. This analysis was built upon the shortcoming of the existing translators, and led to proposals to generate optimised code suitable for embedding in highly memory-constrained devices, such as smart cards. Two code translators have been developed: one targetting C, suitable for system or virtual machine development; the second targetting object oriented languages. This second translator enables the writing of Java Card applications. This paper presents results of the BOM project related to the Open-Source Java/Java Card translator.
