Verifying Business Rules Using an SMT Solver for BPEL Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
WS-BPEL is the standard for modelling executable business processes. Recently, verification of BPEL processes has been an important topic in the research community. While most of the existing approaches for BPEL process verification merely consider control-flow based analysis, some actually consider data-flows, but only in a very restrictive manner. In this paper, we present a novel approach that combines control-flow analysis and data-flow analysis, producing a logical representation of a process model. This logical representation captures the relations between process variables and execution paths that allow properties to be verified using Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT) solvers under constraints represented by the modelled assertions.

WS-BPEL is the standard for specifying and executing business processes by orchestrating Web Services. Abstract and executable processes are two kinds of BPEL processes that are defined in the BPEL standard. An abstract process can be used as a process template, which can be completed and made executable through “executable completion”. The BPEL standard defines a set of rules that must be obey...
