Abstract

This paper deals with the integration of the formal verification techniques of business process (BP) in the design phase. In order to achieve this purpose, we use the graphical notation of Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) for modeling BP and specifying constraint properties to be verified. A formal semantics for some response properties are given.
