Email: (w.j.a.m.vdnheuvel, m.p.papazoglou)@uvt.nl Abstract: Today's enterprises demand a high degree of compliance of business processes to meet diverse regulations and legislations. Several industrial studies have shown that compliance management is a daunting task, and organizations are still struggling and spending billions of dollars annually to ensure and prove their compliance. In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive compliance management framework with a main focus on design-time compliance management as a first step towards a preventive lifetime compliance support. The framework enables the automation of compliance related-activities that are amenable to automation, and therefore can significantly reduce the expenditures spent on compliance. It can help experts to carry out their work more efficiently, cut the time spent on tedious manual activities, and reduce potential human errors. An evident candidate compliance activity for automation is the compliance checking, which can be achieved by utilizing formal reasoning and verification techniques. However, formal languages are well-known of their complexity as only versed users in mathematical theories and formal logics are able to use an...

“…Furthermore, our template set applies to a specific design model with control and operational models, which allows our templates to specify requirements at the component-level and composition-level, increasing granularity and expressiveness at no additional computational cost. Finally, Yu et al [18] apply temporal logic patterns towards verifying Web service compositions. However, their work analyzes WS-BPEL schemas for conformance to general functional properties, while our approach can be applied prior to any development.…”

Abstract. Ensuring reliability in Web service compositions is of crucial interest as services are composed and executed in long-running, distributed mediums that cannot guarantee reliable communications. Towards this, transactional behavior has been proposed to handle and undo the effects of faults of individual components. Despite significant research interest, challenges remain in providing an easy-to-use, formal approach to verify transactional behavior of Web service compositions before costly development. In this paper, we propose the use of temporal logic templates to specify component-level and composition-level transactional requirements over a Web service composition. These templates are specified using a simple format, configured according to scope and cardinality, and automatically translated into temporal logic. To verify design conformance to a set of implemented templates, we employ model checking. We propose an algorithm to address state space explosion by reducing the models into semantically equivalent Kripke structures. Our approach facilitates the implementation of expressive transactional behavior onto existing complex services, as demonstrated in our experimental study.

“…Many pattern-based approaches [14,15,13] base their patterns on patterns collected by Dwyer and Corbett [16]. Simple (particularly binary) patterns, such as global scope presence, global scope absence, after scope absence, before scope absence, response, and precedence can be modeled similarly to some of the compliance rules from Fig.…”

Abstract. For enterprises it has become crucial to check compliance of their business processes with certain rules such as medical guidelines or financial regulations. When automating compliance checks on process models, existing approaches have mainly addressed process-specific compliance rules so far, i.e., rules that correspond to a particular process model. However, in practice, we will rather find process-independent compliance rules that are nevertheless to be checked over process models. Thus, in this paper, we present an approach that enables the instantiation and verification of process-independent compliance rules over process models using domain models. For this, we provide an intuitive visualization of compliance rules and compliance rule instances at user level and show how rules and instances can be formalized and verified at system level. The overall approach is validated by a pattern-based comparison to existing approaches and by means of a prototypical implementation.
