the lack of mechanisms to check whether business processes are compliant with business contracts. The chapter begins by defining the space for business process compliance and the eco-system for ensuring that process are compliant. The key point is that compliance is a relationship between two sets

In open societies of agents, where agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is not realistic to assume that agents will always act so as to comply to interaction protocols. Thus, the need arises for a formalism to specify constraints on agent interaction, and for a tool able to observe and check

Abstract—Architecture Compliance Checking (ACC) is useful to bridge the gap between architecture and implementation. ACC is an approach to verify conformance of implemented program code to high-level models of architectural design. Static ACC focuses on the modular software architecture

Admissions uses Student Financials functionality to process payment of application fees. On the Application Data page you can process check, cash and credit card payments. The process allows you to enter full or partial payments and track the current status of a payment. This lesson covers how

2010 Words cannot express my gratitude to my advisor Pavel Parízek. I would like to thank Pavel for his personal and professional approach, useful advice and suggestions, assistance and because he opened area of verification to me. I would like to thank Kateřina Topilová for language corrections

, and by the system itself to check that an agent entering a system complies with the system constraints. While not fully detailed, the paper provides an initial model and a clear direction as to how such a system may be constructed, offering a new way of developing open multi-agent systems. 1

at the point of sale. Using a new nationally representative survey, we transform consumers ’ responses to open-ended questions on reasons for using debit cards to estimate a characteristics-based discrete-choice demand model that includes debit cards, cash, checks, and credit cards. Market shares computed

Software developers often fail to respect the intentions of designers due to missing or ignored documentation of design intent. SCL (Structural Constraint Language) addresses this problem by enabling designers to formalize and confirm compliance with design intent. The designer expresses his

results without violating the norms? In this paper we introduce a formal method, based on program verication, for checking the norm compliance of (knowledge-based) protocols. 1

Reusable APIs often define usage protocols. We previously developed a sound modular type system that checks compliance with typestate-based protocols while affording a great deal of aliasing flexibility. We also developed Plural, a prototype tool that embodies our approach as an automated static
