An Approach for the Specification and Verification of Hadoop-MapReduce Workflow

The growing importance of big data applications calls for the development of tools and methods to facilitate the development of high-quality applications. In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach for the specification and formal verification of the Hadoop-MapReduce workflow using the de facto standard BPMN2 and the Event B formal method. This approach is automated by the development of a prototype tool called BPMN-MapRed2EventB.
