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
