Abstract
Formal verification of business process models is of interest to a number of application areas, including checking for basic process correctness, business compliance, and process variability. A large amount of work on these topics exist, while a comprehensive overview of the field and its directions is lacking. We provide an overview and critical reflections on existing approaches.

Abstract
Photovoltaic system performance highly depends on environmental conditions. Hence system requirements to optimize energy yield are unique, and in most cases no relevant data are available to make implementation decisions. This is why monitoring of such systems is very essential for initial system evaluation, and continuous output optimization. This paper is the result of a thorough literature survey about existing performance monitoring system for photovoltaic panels, aiming to propose a system tailored for photovoltaic panels under the very particular environmental conditions experienced in the GCC region, as these countries are in an area with tremendous potential for development of solar energy projects. A wireless sensor network based monitoring system is proposed, that measures data relevant for desert climate like dust, temperature and humidity. A small-scale prototype is described, along with initial experimental results. © 2013 IEEE.

- Capacity Analysis of Combined IPTV and VoIP over IEEE 802.11n (), In 38th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks, 2013.
Abstract
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) have gained unprecedented growth rates in the past few years. Data rate and high coverage area of IEEE 802.11n motivate the concept of combined IPTV and VoIP over IEEE 802.11n. Transmission of combined IPTV and VoIP over a wireless network is a challenging task. In this paper, we deal with the capacity evaluation of combined IPTV and VoIP over IEEE 802.11n. We evaluate the use of Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) at transport layer of IPTV and VoIP. Our study shows that DCCP can enhance capacity of IPTV by 25%. Our study confirms that performance of DCCP deteriorates severely in presence of any other UDP flow because of congestion-less mechanism of UDP. Our fairness analysis with TCP traffic shows that IPTV and VoIP using DCCP provides fair share in bandwidth to TCP with 19% increase in combined capacity. We study the effect of IEEE 802.11n parameters and obtain optimal values. We show the optimal values and trends of Access Point (AP) parameters including Queue size, Transmission Opportunity, Aggregation and Block ACK etc. Our study shows that nearly 9 more VoIP users are supported with a queue size of 70 packets and transmission opportunity of 9. Our study concludes that selection of DCCP and optimized parameters over IEEE 802.11n can enhance the capacity of IPTV and VoIP by atleast 25% and 19% respectively as compared to the use of UDP.

Abstract
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has gained an enormous growth rate by revolutionizing personal entertainment. High data rates with increased coverage radius of IEEE 802.11n Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) motivate the concept of wireless IPTV. Streaming of Television contents over highly pervasive wireless environment with satisfactory Quality of Service (QoS) is a challenging task. Focusing on wireless IPTV, our work deals with the capacity evaluation of IPTV users over IEEE 802.11n. We first present an upper capacity limit for supporting maximum number of users over IEEE 802.11n. We then propose that 4-times packet size is the optimal frame aggregation size for IPTV which maximizes users capacity and QoS. Finally, we suggest the use of Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) at transport layer for IPTV. We show that DCCP capacity for IPTV increases upto 35% by reducing packet losses at Access Point (AP), compared to User Datagram Protocol (UDP). We further evaluate fairness of IPTV traffic in the presence of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic in the network. Our study concludes that IPTV using DCCP over IEEE 802.11n not only provides increased user's capacity but also co-exists fairly with TCP traffic.
