Subject: new technical report from Microsoft Research on process conformance
At the second F2F meeting, there was a discussion about bisimulation vs. simulation vs. "refinement", and a request for background information on this topic. A new technical report on this topic is now available at http://research.microsoft.com/projects/zing/conformance.pdf. This paper describes the theory behind the conformance checker that we've implemented. This is relevant to BPEL in that it provides a framework for determining whether a BPEL executable process "conforms to" the behavior described by a given abstract process. And, in particular, why this notion of conformance is of more practical use than bisimulation. Tony
