Abstract. This paper presents the results of the RNTL BOM project, which aimed to develop an approach to generate efficient code from B formal developments. The target domain is smart card applications, in which memory and code size is an important factor. The results detailed in this paper are a new architecture of the translation process, a way to adapt the B0 language in order to include types of the target language and a set of validated optimizations. An assessment of the proposed approach is given through a case study, relative to the development of a Java Card Virtual Machine environment. Keywords. Code generation, embedded systems, B method, smart cards
