“The very first paper on Z was published in 1980 (at the time, the name Z was not
‘invented’), then the book on the B method was published in 1996, and, finally, the
book on Event-B was published in 2010. So, 30 years separate Z from Event-B. It is
thus clear that I spent a significant time of my scientific professional life working with
the same kind of subject in mind, roughly speaking specification languages. I do not
know whether this kind of addiction is good or bad, but what I know is that I enjoyed
it a lot.” — J.-R. Abrial
