A model-checking approach for service component architectures

We present a strategy for model-checking the correctness of service composition. We do so in the context of SRML, a formal modelling framework for service-oriented computing being defined within the SENSORIA project. We introduce a methodology for encoding patterns of typical service interaction with UML state machines and present a strategy for checking SRML specifications of service composition based on such patterns. For that purpose, we use the action-state branching time temporal logic UCTL and the model-checker UMC.
