Abstract
In this paper, we propose a framework toward formal representation and validation of goal compliance for a business process model. All the tasks, postconditions, constraints, and goals are captured using first-order logic (FOL). We have used theorem prover (Prover9) for goal entailment. An experimental validation for goal compliance is presented considering a use case on health care domain. We start with an exhaustive solution space of all possible business process models for all possible activities on a particular domain and derive a reduced solution space of goal complied process models.
