Abstract(in English) A WF-net should have a property, called soundeness, which guarantees a logical correctness of the modeled workflow. In this paper, we propose a method to verify soundness using SPIN and NuSMV, which are typical model checking tools. Cyclic WF-nets may have livelock. We give a necessary and sufficient condition of livelock. Without livelock, SPIN can verify soundness than effectively NuSMV. Therefore we choose SPIN or NuSMV according to existence of livelock. In addition, we provide a necessary condition of soundness. The necessary condition enables us to use SPIN even if there is livelock. We also show effectiveness of our method by comparing it with an existing WF-net analysis tool, Woflan, on verification time for cyclic WF-nets.
