Maria, 46 - 56126 Pisa, Italy October 29, 1998 ASSO is a formal methodology for developing database applications based on B. Within ASSO, conceptual and logical descriptions of databases are linked through a formal relation to break down a database design into simpler components. We propose a systematic translation from ASSO schemas into B-machines establishing a formal relationships between them. This permits the formal semantics of ASSO to be explored using B, and also allows existing B tools to be used as a basis for the construction of ASSO tools.
