Abstract(in English) Workflow nets (WF-nets) are Petri nets for modeling workflows, and are utilized to verification and performance evaluation of workflows. A WF-net should have a property, called soundeness, which guarantees a logical correctness of the modeled workflow. An inter-organizational workflow may be modeled as an asymmetric choice (AC) WF-net. As for ACWF-nets, there are no methods to verify the soundness in polynomial time. Thus an efficient method is required. In this paper, we propose a method to verify soundness using the SPIN model checker. We also show effectiveness of our method by comparing it with an existing WF-nets analysis tool, Woflan, on verification time for ACWF-nets.
