A method of applying formal verification methodologies to event processing applications is provided herein. The method includes the following stages: representing an event processing application as an event processing network, being a graph with event processing agents as nodes; generating a finite state machine based on the event processing network, wherein the finite state machine is an over-approximation of the event processing application; expressing stateful rules and policies that are associated with the event processing application using temporal logic, to yield a temporal representation of the event processing application; combining the temporal representation and the finite state machine into a model; generating a statement associated with a user-selected verification-related property of the event processing application, wherein the statement is generated using the temporal representation; and applying the statement to the model, to yield an indication for: (i) a correctness of the statement or (ii) a counter example, respectively. |
