Confirmation: A Solution for Non-Compensatability in Workflow Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of a compensation is widely used in advanced transaction models as means of recovery from a failure. Similar concepts are adopted for providing “transaction-like” behavior for long business processes supported by workflows technology. Generally, designing a compensating task in the context of a workflow process is a non-trivial job. In fact, not every task is compensatable. This work contributes to the study of the non-compensatability problem. A compensating task C of a task T semantically undoes the effect of T after T has been committed. For example, the compensating task of a deposit is a withdrawal. For a task to be compensatable, it must satisfy two conditions.

Improving Backward Recovery in Workflow Systems
The notion of compensation is widely used as means of backward recovery in long-lived transactions as well as business processes supported by workflow management systems. In general, it is non-trivial to design compensating tasks for tasks in the context of a workflow. Actually, a task does not have to be compensatable. In this paper, we first look into the requirements that a compensating task...
متن کاملA Novel Assisted History Matching Workflow and its Application in a Full Field Reservoir Simulation Model
The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...
متن کاملTemporal stabilizability and compensatability of time-varying linear discrete-time systems with white stochastic parameters
This paper reveals that apart from changes of system structure vital system properties such as stabilizability and compensatability may be lost temporarily due to the stochastic nature of system parameters. To that end new system properties called temporal mean-square stabilizability (tms-stabilizability) and temporal meansquare compensatability (tms-compensatability) for time-varying linear di...
