Formal Specification and Verification of Transactional Service Composition

Research in transactions planning has recognized the evolvement of Web Services as an industry standard to implement transactional business processes. We proposed a data modeling and contracting framework for Web services and in this paper we are exploring how our framework can help formally verify data integrity properties in an ad-hoc transaction.
