Abstract: In this paper we overview our recent research activity concerning the induction of Logic Programming specifications, and the proof of their properties via Abductive Logic Programming. Both the inductive and abductive tools here briefly described have been applied to respectively learn and verify (properties of) interaction protocols in multi-agent systems, Web service choreographies, careflows and business processes.

Keywords: Computational Logic, induction, abduction, interaction protocols, careflows, business processes
