Abstract

In recent years, the declarative programming philosophy has had a visible impact on new emerging disciplines, such as heterogeneous multi-agent systems and flexible business processes. We address the problem of formal verification for systems specified using declarative languages, focusing in particular on the Business Process Management field. We propose a verification method based on the g-SCIFF abductive logic programming proof procedure and evaluate our method empirically, by comparing its performance with that of other verification frameworks.
