A Model-Based Approach to the Verification and Adaptation of WF/.NET Components

This paper presents an approach which supports verification and model-based adaptation of software components and services implemented using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). First, we propose an abstract description of WF workflows, and we formalise the extraction of Labelled Transition Systems from these workflows. Next, verification and adaptation are applied using respectively model-checking techniques and existing model-based adaptation approaches. Last, we explain how a WF workflow can be generated from an adaptor protocol.
