Finite automata modelling and analysis of Workflow Management Systems

Abstract

We introduce a finite automata based framework for modelling and analysis of Workflow Management Systems (WFMS). Using the workflow behaviour set and its control specifications we develop a workflow control structure. The control structure is used to verify workflow properties such as consistency, redundancy, control switching, scalability and control reconfiguration. Most of these properties cannot be verified by other workflow analysis methods. An order processing example is used for illustrative purposes.
