Automated Analysis of Industrial Workflow-based Models

International audienceModelling and governance of business processes are important concerns in companies all over the world. By better understanding business processes, different optimizations are made possible, concretely resulting into potential efficiency gains, cost reductions and improvements in agility. The use of formal specification languages for the modelling of business processes paves the way for different kinds of automated analysis. Such analysis can be used to infer properties from the modelled processes that can be used to improve their design. In this paper, we particularly explore two important classes of verification, namely verification of behavioural properties using model checking techniques and data-based analysis using SAT solving. Those verifications are fully automated by using different tools such as the CADP verification toolbox and the Z3 solver. We illustrate our approach on a real-world case study

Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2022, which was held during April 4-5, 2022, in Munich, Germany, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2022. The 17 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The proceedings also contain 3 contributions from the Test-Comp Competition. The papers deal with the foundations on which software engineering is built, including topics like software engineering as an engineering discipline, requirements engineering, software architectures, software quality, model-driven development, software processes, software evolution, AI-based software engineering, and the specification, design, and implementation of particular classes of systems, such as (self-)adaptive, collaborative, AI, embedded, distributed, mobile, pervasive, cyber-physical, or service-oriented applications
