Web service composition is an important reuse way of service resources, through which large scale and complex applications based on Internet can get the newer and more reliable resources among the distributed nodes. An important challenge for web services composition is how to ensure the correctness and reliability of the composition process. CPN(Colored Petri Net)as a formal modeling and verification method not only provides formal semantics and a number of analysis techniques, but also is independent of the concrete flow description language(e.g. BPEL, WSCDL).This paper presents an approach of formal modeling and verifying for web service composition and uses an instance to illustrate it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
