abstract = {We describe an approach to modelling and reasoning about
data-centric business processes and present a form of general
model checking. Our technique extends existing approaches, which
explore systems only from concrete initial states.
\par
Specifically, we model business processes in terms of smaller
fragments, whose possible interactions are constrained by
first-order logic formulae. In turn, process fragments are
connected graphs annotated with instructions to modify data.
Correctness properties concerning the evolution of data with
respect to processes can be stated in a first-order
branching-time logic over built-in theories, such as linear
integer arithmetic, records and arrays.
\par
Solving general model checking problems over this logic is
considerably harder than model checking when a concrete initial
state is given. To this end, we present a tableau procedure that
reduces these model checking problems to first-order logic over
arithmetic. The resulting proof obligations are passed on to
appropriate ``off-the-shelf'' theorem provers. We also detail our
modelling approach, describe the reasoning components and report
on first experiments.},

abstract = {Model Evolution is a lifted version of the propositional DPLL
procedure for first-order logic with equality. This paper combines and extends
the essentials of the latest Model Evolution variants with and without theory reasoning into a new
calculus. The new calculus is described in detail. The main results reported here
are the calculus' completeness under (unavoidable) conditions, and its application
as a decison procedure for the quantifier-free fragment of the
combined theory of free function symbols with equality and linear integer
arithmetic.},
