Proposal of a Hierarchical Approach to Formal Verification of BPMN Models Using Alvis and XTT2 Methods∗

چکیده
BPMN is a visual notation for modeling business processes. Although there are many tools supporting it, they rarely provide formal verification of models. We propose a new approach to formal verification of BPMN models using the Alvis modeling language and the XTT2 knowledge representation. The structure of the BPMN model can be analyzed using translation to Alvis. Alvis models can be verified with dedicated tools, and their properties can be linked to the properties of the original BPMN model. On the other hand, selected BPMN elements can be verified using the XTT2 decision tables. Several BPMN elements can be translated to XTT2 and checked using the HeaRT rule engine with the HalVA verification and analysis tool. The paper constitutes an overview of the methods and concepts and presents preliminary results of our research.

Proposal of Formal Verification of Selected BPMN Models with Alvis Modeling Language
BPMN is a leading visual notation for modeling business processes. Although there is many tools that allows for modeling using BPMN, they mostly do not support formal verification of models. The Alvis language was developed for modeling and verification of embedded systems. However, it is suitable for the modeling of any information systems with parallel subsystems. The goal of this paper is to...
متن کاملVisual Inference Specification Methods for Modularized Rulebases. Overview and Integration Proposal
The paper concerns selected rule modularization techniques. Three visual methods for inference specification for modularized rulebases are described: Drools Flow, BPMN and XTT2. Drools Flow is a popular technology for workflow or process modeling, BPMN is an OMG standard for modeling business processes, and XTT2 is a hierarchical tabular system specification method. Because of some limitations ...

متن کاملProposal of Representing BPMN Diagrams with XTT2-Based Business Rules
Business Processes describe operations of an organization. However, they do not take into account such aspects as detailed logic specification or process implementation. Business Rules are generally better suited for these purposes. Although there is ongoing research on integration of Business Processes with Business Rules, there is no standardized methodology for this integration. We propose a...
متن کاملPractical Approach To Modelling And Verification Of Concurrent Systems With ALVIS
The paper presents a practical introduction to the modelling and verification of concurrent systems with the Alvis modelling language using the α system layer. This version of Alvis is the most universal one. It is assumed that each active agent has access to its own processor and all agents perform their statements concurrently. All layers of an Alvis models are shortly described in the paper ...
