Abstract: We address the problem of analyzing the interaction between WS-BPEL processes. We present a echnology chain that starts out with a WS-BPEL process and translates it into a Petri net model. n the model we decide controllability of the process (the existence of a partner process, uch that both can interact properly) and compute its operating guideline (a haracterization of all properly interacting partner processes). To manage processes of realistic size, we present a concept of a flexible model generation which allows the generation of ompact Petri net models. A case study demonstrates the value of this technology chain.
