“…Other studies that try to characterise inter-organisational soundness are available [5,31]. However, differently from our work, these approaches do not apply to BPMN, which is the modelling notation aimed by our study.…”

BPMN 2.0 standard has a huge uptake in modelling business processes within the same organisation or collaborations involving multiple interacting participants. It results that providing a solid foundation to enable BPMN designers to understand their models in a consistent way is becoming more and more important. In our investigation we define and exploit a formal characterisation of the collaborations' semantics, specifically and directly given for BPMN models, to provide a classification of BPMN collaborations. In particular, we refer to collaborations involving processes with arbitrary topology, thus overcoming the well-structuredness limitations. The proposed classification is based on some of the most important correctness properties in the business process domain, namely safeness and soundness. We prove, with a uniform formal framework, some conjectured and expected results and, most of all, we achieve novel results for BPMN collaborations concerning the relationships between safeness and soundness, and their compositionality, that represent major advances in the state-of-the-art.

“…The approach was used to obtain a global workflow modelled using Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOWF), which was then transform into a WF-net and verify its soundness property. Similarly, Jorge Roa et al [8] propose a verification method -Global Interaction Net (GI-Net) based on Hierarchical and Coloured Petri Net (HCP-Net) to formalize CBP model in UP-ColBPIP, then use CPN tools (Coloured Petri Nets) to verify the Global Interaction soundness property. Their approach was able to support advanced control flow issues like advanced synchronisations, exemption management and cancellation regions, which was not supported in [7].…”

“…Their approach was able to support advanced control flow issues like advanced synchronisations, exemption management and cancellation regions, which was not supported in [7]. Roa et al [8] proposed method is independent of the semantics and can be used with any modelling language for CBP. Though, the model must be structured (i.e.…”

Evidently, COVID-19 has changed our lives and is likely to make a lasting impact on our economic development and our industry and services. In the ongoing process of digital transformation in industry and services, Collaborative Networks (CNs) is required to be more efficient, productive, flexible, resilient and sustainable according to change of situations and related rules applied afterwards. Although the CN area is relatively young, it requires the previous research to be extended, i.e. business process management from dealing with processes within a single organization into processes across different organizations. In this paper, we review current business process verification and compliance research. Different tools approaches and limitations of them are compared. The further research issues and potential solutions of business process verification and compliance check are discussed in the context of CNs.

“…Most of the work take a model-checking approach, where the system under verification is represented as a kind of automaton or Petri Nets. An example that explicitly addresses collaborative business processes is [23], which however does not cover liveness properties. Live Sequence Charts (LSCs) [6] is a conservative extension of Message Sequence Charts allowing to distinguish possible (may) from required (must) behaviour, and thus the specification of liveness properties.…”

We present the first session typing system guaranteeing response liveness properties for possibly non-terminating communicating processes. The types augment the branch and select types of the standard binary session types with a set of required responses, indicating that whenever a particular label is selected, a set of other labels, its responses, must eventually also be selected. We prove that these extended types are strictly more expressive than standard session types. We provide a type system for a process calculus similar to a subset of collaborative BPMN processes with internal (data-based) and external (event-based) branching, message passing, bounded and unbounded looping. We prove that this type system is sound, i.e., it guarantees request-response liveness for deadlock free processes. We exemplify the use of the calculus and type system on a concrete example of an infinite state system.
