eb 3 is a specification language for information systems. The core of the eb 3 language consists of process algebraic specifications describing the behaviour of the entities in a system, and attribute function definitions describing the entity attributes. The verification of eb 3 specifications against temporal properties is of great interest to users of eb 3. In this paper, we propose a translation from eb 3 to LOTOS NT (LNT for short), a value-passing concurrent language with classical

... algebra features. Our translation ensures the one-to-one correspondence between states and transitions of the labelled transition systems corresponding to the eb 3 and LNT specifications. We automated this translation with the eb 3 2lnt tool, thus equipping the eb 3 method with the functional verification features available in the CADP toolbox.
