 TLC4B
 =====
 
+This project contains a translator from B to TLA+ with the purpose of applying the
+TLC model checker on B models within the ProB validation tool.
+
+TLC is an efficient model checker for TLA+ specifications, which can check LTL properties with fairness. It is particularly good for lower level specifications, where it can be substantially faster than ProB's own model checker
+
+The following article describes the translation:
+Dominik Hansen and Michael Leuschel.
+Translating B to TLA+ for validation with TLC.
+Sci. Comput. Program. 131, pages 109-125. 2016.
