Summary Today, service composition is emerging paradigm on the communication networks such as cloud environments, internet of things, wireless sensor network, and software‐defined network. The goal of service composition method is to provide the interactions between user requirements and smart objects of intelligent communication systems. There have been many efforts to use formal verification and behavioral modeling methods to evaluate the service composition mechanisms. Up to now, there is not a comprehensive analysis research on this topic. Therefore, this paper focuses on several formal verification approaches that are performed to confirm the service composition correctness in communication networks. The objective of this paper is to comprehensively categorize and examine current research techniques on formal verification of the service composition. This research analysis provides an overview of recent service composition approaches according to structural and functional properties. Comparison results show that most of the verification approaches in explanation of the service composition correctness are semantic‐aware approach with 43%. The most used verification method for the service composition is model checking with 69%. The process algebra is used 29%, and some theorem proving methods are applied in 9% of the investigated mechanism. Moreover, most widely used modeling tools are NuSMV (22%), SPIN (17%), CPN (12%), UPPAAL (12%), Event‐B (10%), and PAT (5%).

By raising evolutionary network connections, a software‐defined network (SDN) offers a well‐managed and flexible novel network topology. The SDN efforts are provided to abstract the original network configuration for business applications and web services. Additionally, the SDN modifies the network management policies such as topology policies, deployment policies, the applicability, and infrastructure maintenance. One of the important features of the SDN is standardizing the network interfaces with the precise functional semantics in application and control flow layers. In another hand, specification and evaluation of the existing network interfaces is a main and significant challenge to prove the correctness of the configurable scenarios in the SDN approach. Recently, formal verification presents a high potential platform to evaluate the main‐layer scenarios of the SDN as the novel perspective in this area. Up to now, there is no survey and state‐of‐the‐art review on the formal verification methods in the SDN. This paper provides a systematic literature review (SLR) for the formal verification methods in the SDN in form of the SDN plans to recognize the state of the art of the open challenges. The presented SLR is classified into three main fields: application plan, data plan, and control plan approaches. The verification mechanisms are compared with each other according to the important factors such as structural properties, quality‐of‐service metrics, applied algorithms, and measurement tools.

“…The approach is helpful for understanding and extracting the most beneficial non-functional requirements and providing the base for the better model selection. Ouchani and Debbabi (2015) analyze the state of the art related to security requirement specification of software systems that are modeled upon UML languages the related work is in state of the art for security requirements at different design levels are compared. The approaches used for verification of security requirements include model checking, theorem proving.…”

Extraction and classification of NFRs plays a vital role in the software development process. NFRs are often misunderstood and ignored due to which certain important aspect of the software such as robustness availability usability performance and security are compromised. Several different extraction and classification techniques proposed in the literature. In this study, we have made an effort to critically analyze different NFRs extraction and classification techniques in order to see their merits and demerits, as well as the scenarios in which these techniques can be helpful. Specifically we have identified the limitations of these techniques, their significance and the possible improvements that can be made to make these techniques more useful. In this paper, we have critically evaluated various techniques and methods proposed in the literature on the automatic extraction and classification of NFRs. The findings of the existing techniques are provided in the paper. The critical analysis tables are provided in this study to highlight the significance of NFRs extraction and classification technique.
