Formal Based Correctness Check for ePASS-IoS 1.1 Process Models with Integrated User Support for Error Correcting

Stephan Borgert, Max Mühlhäuser

Abstract: To ensure the correctness of business process models, automatic and manual methods are applied. Since the manual checks are time consuming and expensive, the automatic methods should be as effective as possible. An established verification check is the check for the interaction soundness, i.e. the process model can be executed without deadlocks. Normally, these approaches compile the graph based models to expressions of a formal language which is passed on to a model checking tool for verification. The drawback with this methods is that the results are hard to use for analyzing the causes of errors. In this paper, we present an integrated approach that is able to find important error patterns, and supports the user in correcting errors while still having a high performance.
