Using temporal logics for modeling and analysis of workflows

Abstract

A method for modeling and analyzing workflows based on Temporal Logic of Actions is presented. After a brief review of TLA, present the semantic of workflow process using TLA and illustrate how to modeling and analysis workflow using TLA. In TLA, both the workflow model and its properties are modeled by TLA formulas. Analysis of workflow model in TLA is carried out by validating the implication relationship between two formulas. Finally, the process of modeling and analysis is validated through a case study
