Web Service Composition Verification of Safety Properties: An Approach Based on Predicate Abstraction
Yu Ying Wang, Ping Chen · Advanced materials research · 2013
The biggest problem in model checking is state space explosion. Using predicate abstraction, state space of colored Petri net models were abstracted, and an algorithm was proposed to obtain the abstracted state space of a colored Petri net model without its original state space generated. A method to verify safety properties of Web service composition by abstracted state space was proposed. The problem of state space explosion is solved to some extend in this way. Finally an application of the method is illustrated with an example, which its efficiency shown.
