Abstract
This paper proposes a formal environment, named FMEBP, for modeling business processes. This environment is based on a transformation approach that translates Web services, described in BPEL language, to abstract specifications, written in a high-level real-time language called D-LOTOS. The interest of D-LOTOS language is provided from the fact that it is based on true-concurrency semantics and supports both timing constraints and actions durations. For assessing the proposed environment we study a specification of a Web services application.
