Abstract

It is important to deal with rapidly changing environments (regulations, customer behavior change, and process improvement etc.) to keep achieving business goals. Therefore, verification for business process in various phases are needed to make sure of goal achievements. LTL (Linear Temporal Logic) verification is an important method for checking a specific property to be satisfied with business processes, but correctly writing formal language like LTL is difficult. Lacks of domain knowledge and knowledge of mathematical logics have bad influence on writing LTL formulas. In this paper, we use LTL verification and prediction based on decision tree learning for verification of specific properties. Furthermore, we helps writing properly LTL formula for representing the correct desirable property using decision tree constrction. We conducted a case study for evaluations.
