“…This includes the patterns identified in [3] and [17], including existence, absence, precedence and response patterns. In our further research, we will investigate such patterns, including patterns for timerelated properties (see [18]). Another direction of our work will be to enable the business architects who are responsible for defining workflow specifications to specify such properties without a deeper knowledge in model checking or temporal logics.…”

The correctness of a workflow specification is critical for the automation of business processes. For this reason, errors in the specification should be detected and corrected as early as possible -at specification time.In this paper, we present a validation method for workflow specifications using model-checking techniques. A formalized workflow specification, its properties and the correctness requirements are translated into a timed state machine that can be analyzed with the Uppaal model checker. The main contribution of this paper is the use of timed model checking for verifying time-related properties of workflow specifications.Using only one tool (the model checker) for verifying these different kinds of properties gives an advantage over using different specialized algorithms for verifying different kinds of properties.

“…Furthermore, for logic-based specification-formalism, the correct definition of QoS proper-ties is supported with specification patterns [39], [49], [48], [68] and structured English grammars [49], [68].Traditionally, the semantics of the PCTL/CSL is defined with a satisfaction relation j¼ over the states S and possible paths Path M ðsÞ that are possible in a state s 2 S of a discrete/continuous time probabilistic model M. For de-tails about the formal semantics the reader is referred to [8], [33], [53]. Normally, a PCTL/CSL formula is evaluated starting from the initial state of the probabilistic model M. However, for convenience, in tools like PRISM any state and also a set of states can be chosen with a filter.…”

“…Use cases and process models should be annotated with properties to be checked at run time. We envision these properties to be expressed in Restricted Natural Language (RNL), using some predefined templates based on property specification patterns (such as the systems defined in [13], [21], [6], [17] …”

Abstract. Run-time verification has been widely advocated in the last decade as a key technique to check whether the execution of a business process and its interactions with partner services comply with the application requirements. Despite the substantial research performed in this area, there are very few approaches that leverage model-driven engineering (MDE) methodologies and integrate them in the development process of applications based on business process descriptions. In this position paper we describe our vision and present the research roadmap for adopting MDE techniques in the context of run-time verification of business processes, based on our early experience with a public service partner in the domain of eGovernment. We maintain that within this context the adoption of MDE would contribute in three ways: 1) expressing, at a logical level, complex properties to be checked at run time using a domain-specific language; 2) transforming such properties in a format that can leverage state-of-the-art, industrial-strength tools in order to check these properties; 3) integrating such property checker in run-time verification engines, specific to a target run-time platform, without user's intervention.
