Workflow Data Guards

چکیده
Workflow management systems (WfMSs) frequently use data to coordinate the execution of workflow instances. A WfMS evaluates conditions defined on data to make the control flow decisions i.e. selecting the next activity or deciding on an actor. However, data within and outside of a running workflow instance may change dynamically. Modifications of data needed for past control flow decisions may invalidate these decisions. We analyze the desired synchronization policies, and propose a mechanism called data guard to selectively guarantee that significant changes in data are recognized and handled by the data management system to ensure correctness of workflow execution in face of asynchronous updates.

Abstract Introduction:More than 8-12% of healthy people suffered from sleep disorders worldwide. This problem evaluated among guards in a little past studies. We aimed to assess this defect among hospital guards of Iran university of Medical Sciences. Materials: 74 guards filled out two different questionnaires aboutsleep quality, ESS and PSQI. Demographic data were obtained based on another ...
متن کاملDeveloping simulation models - from conceptual to executable model and back - an artifact-based workflow approach
Developing a model for simulation is an art and a science. The question is how this process can be suitably supported. Integrating workflows into simulation systems promises user guidance, documentation and reproducibility of this process. However, the highly interactive, partly concurrent, partly optional nature of the modeling process challenges traditional activity-based workflow approaches....
متن کاملWorking with the Past: Integrating History in Petri Nets
Most information systems that are driven by process models (e.g., workflow management systems) record events in event logs, also known as transaction logs or audit trails. We consider processes that not only keep track of their history in a log, but also make decisions based on this log. To model such processes we extend the basic Petri net framework with the notion of history and add guards to...

متن کاملA Security Architecture for Inter-Organizational Workflows: Putting Security Standards for Web Services Together
Modern eBusiness processes are spanning over a set of public authorities and private corporations. Those processes require high security principles, rooted on open standards. The SECTINO project follows the paradigm of model driven security architecture: High level business-oriented security requirements for inter-organizational workflows are translated into a configuration for a standards base...
