Two-Layer Transaction Management for Workflow Management Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Workflow management applications require advanced transaction management that is not offered by traditional database systems. For this reason, a number of extended transaction models has been proposed in thepast. None of these models seems completely adequate, though, because workflow management requires different transactional semantics on different process levels. In the WIDE ESPRIT project, a two-layer transaction management approach has been adopted to cope with this problem. The approach consists of a transaction model built from an orthogonal combination of two existing models and a transaction management architecture with two independent transaction managers. This architecture is integrated into the next generation of the commercial FORO distributed workflow management systen~

Contract-Based Transaction Management in Cross-Organizational Workflow Management
Cross-organizational workflow management is an essential ingredient for process integration in virtual enterprises. To obtain cross-organizational workflow processes with robust semantics, these processes should be supported by highlevel cross-organizational transaction management. In this context, transaction management should support both intraand inter-organizational transaction semantics. A...

متن کاملDistributed Global Transaction Support for Workflow Management Applications
Workflow management systems require advanced transaction support to cope with their inherently long-running processes. The recent trend to distribute workflow executions requires an even more advanced transaction support system that is able to handle distribution. This report presents a model as well as an architecture to provide distributed advanced transaction support. Characteristic of the t...

This paper surveys recent work on extended transaction management. It focusses on transaction–oriented applications in large distributed and heterogeneous information systems where applications often span multiple autonomous databases. In such an environment, the challenge is to reconcile data consistency and acceptable performance to the best extent possible, which may imply trading off consis...
