Résumé

Nowadays workflows are extensively used by companies to improve organizational efficiency and productivity. This paper focuses on the verification of modal workflow specifications using constraint solving as a computational tool. Its main contribution consists in developing an innovative formal framework based on constraint systems to model executions of workflow Petri nets and their structural properties, as well as to verify their modal specifications. Finally, an implementation and promising experimental results constitute a practical contribution.
