“…Another approach has been proposed in the authors' previous works (Jemni Ben Ayed and Ben Younes, 2006) translating STATEMATE specification into Event B language which allows its verification. Thus, the authors were brought about formalising all statecharts and activity charts languages components.…”

In this paper, the authors explore the usefulness of a combination of semi-formal and formal methods in specifying reactive systems and verifying their properties. The authors propose an approach combining STATEMATE and the temporal logic FNLOG. STATEMATE is a semi-formal method, which has been used for the development of large industrial applications. It pertains to the specification and design of complex reactive systems and builds simulations and prototypes rapidly. Though STATEMATE provides rigorous specifications, these are not verifiable to ensure and guarantee the reliability of the system being developed. To fulfil the verification objective, a STATEMATE specification is translated into a logic-based specification language FNLOG, which allows its verification. This paper describes the cross reference between STATEMATE and FNLOG features. Systematic derivation schemes from STATEMATE models to FNLOG specifications and different steps of the proposed translation procedure. .

“…The concept of refinement has been highlighted in several studies. Most researchers have used a semiformal-to-formal approach consisting in translating the graphical notation into a formal language equipped with refinement machinery as [4,5,6,13,14,15,16,18].…”

In this paper, we propose an UML Activity Diagram (AD) approach based on stepwise refinement technique for modeling and describing workflow applications. Thus, we present a set of UML AD refinement patterns that support the different forms of refining process in a workflow. The workflow application is constructed in a hierarchical fashion. We show that thanks to the hierarchical workflow construction by refinement, a simple view of the workflow is maintained at each level of abstraction. In addition, we provide formal support for building process refinement graphs that are complete, proved correct.
