Abstract

Current Web services composition proposals, such as BPEL, BPSS, BPMN and WSCI, provide notations for describing the control and message flows in Web service collaborations. However, such proposals remain at the descriptive level, without providing any kind of mechanisms or tool support for verifying the composition specified in the proposed notations. In this paper, we present to analyze and verify Web services composition by using CP-nets. CP-nets combine the strengths of Petri nets with the expressive power of high-level programming and have sound mathematical semantics. These services composition proposals can be transformed by model transformation rules into CP-nets, which can be used to analyze the performance and to investigate behavioral properties by CP-nets specialized tools.
