Alignment Verification in the Early Stage of Service Design

Verification is a costly task, sometimes burdensome and tedious, requiring strong formal background. To reduce the effort and cost invested in verification, we developed a model-driven approach for automatic verification of service properties, done in the early service design phase. Our approach is based on SEAM, a service modeling method, and it incorporates a verification system called Leon. With our approach service designers do not need substantial understanding of specific formal and verification languages, since the SEAM visual service model is both the input for and output of the alignment verification.
