ABSTRACT
This paper hopes to make a contribution on three aspects of workflow systems: we stress the fact that there is a broken symetry between the level of the specification of the procedures and the level of their enactment; we propose some ways of classifying activities and exceptions; and we propose some run-time functionalities to help users deal with exceptions.

Exception specification and handling in workflow systems
APWeb'03: Proceedings of the 5th Asia-Pacific web conference on Web technologies and applicationsVarious unexpected events frequently happen in workflow system supporting web-based business processes. Thus workflow system should be equipped with handlers to cope with the unexpected events. But in practical terms, we cannot expect for a workflow ...
Exception Handling in Workflow Systems
In this paper, defeasible workflow is proposed as a framework to support exception handling for workflow management. By using the “justified” ECA rules to capture more contexts in workflow modeling, defeasible workflow uses context dependent reasoning ...
A Workflow Fragmentation Framework for Enterprise Grid Workflow Systems
WAINA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications WorkshopsIn this paper, we focus on a workflow distribution methodology for deploying the workflow enactment functionality over enterprise grid computing environments. The essential idea of the workflow distribution methodology is about how to fragment a ...
