Automated Compliance Verification of Business Processes in Apromore

This paper presents the integration of two plugins, a declarative process specification generator and a compliance verifier, into the Apromore advanced business process analytics platform. The integrated toolchain has a range of applications of interest to both practitioners and researchers. For example, it can be used in the areas of business process compliance, flexibility and variability. The generator can extract a set of formal specifications that declaratively describe a set of business process variants; whereas the verifier can check whether temporal properties over business process models hold. The verifier can use two different model checker tools: NuSMV2 and NuXMV. These plugins allow business analysts to verify if a newly developed process model adheres to rules and regulations or a specification dictated by existing process model variants.
