  Abstract

A study on workflow as an automated business processing system is done recently. This paper proposes a method to verify commitability and integrity of workflow specifications, which include various dependencies between parallel tasks, using petri nets. For this, firstly, we describe briefly workflow specification method using workflow graphs. Secondly, we propose a method to convert a workflow graph into a petri net to verify workflow specifications. Thirdly, we suggest the commitability verification method using petri nets to check whether workflow specifications can commit or not and the integrity verification method to check whether invalid components exist or not. Lastly, we implement the proposed verification method and propose a defect extraction method.
