Sensoria Bibliography Site Simulation and Formal Analysis of Workflow Models
Máté Kovács, László Gönczy
abstract:
We present a framework for the simulation and formal analysis of workflow models. We discuss (i) how a workflow model, implemented in the BPEL language, can be transformed into a data ow network model, (ii) how potentially incorrect execution paths can be incorporated, and (iii) how the properties of a workflow can be formally verifed using the SPIN model checker. For the several model transformation steps from workflow to analysis models, we use graph transformations.
