Abstract

Workflow collaborative technology can compose the existing services and build larger and larger services. Different organizations define their workflows themselves, and provide interfaces to other workflows from other organizations so that the different organizations can collaborate and cooperative each other with workflow collaboration. In the workflow collaboration model, we propose an approach to check order constraints for necessary conditions of soundness property with invariant analysis.
