A 3 - level Atomicity Model

چکیده
A workkow management systems (WFMS) employs a workkow manager (WM) to execute and automate the various activities within a workkow. To protect the consistency of data, the WM encapsulates each activity with a transaction; a transaction manager (TM) then guarantees the atomicity of activities. Since workkows often group several activities together, the TM is responsible for guaranteeing the atomicity of these units. There are scalability issues, however, with centralized WFMSs. Decentralized WFMSs provide an architecture for multiple autonomous WFMSs to interoperate, thus accommodating multiple workkows and geographically-dispersed teams. When atomic units are composed of activities spread across multiple WFMSs, however, there is a connict between global atomicity and local autonomy of each WFMS. This paper describes a decentralized atomicity model that enables workkow administrators to specify the scope of multi-site atomicity based upon the desired semantics of multi-site tasks in the decentralized WFMS. We describe an architecture that realizes our model and execution paradigm.

متن کاملA 3-level Atomicity Model for Decentralized Workkow Management Systems
Decentralized workkow management systems (WFMSs) provide an architecture for multiple, heterogeneous WFMSs to interoperate. Atomicity is a standard correctness model for guaranteeing that a set of operations occurs as an atomic unit, or none of them occur at all. Within a single WFMS, atomicity is the concern of its transaction manager. In a decentralized environment , however, the autonomous t...
متن کاملSoftware Transactional Memory on Relaxed Memory Models
Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These assumptions are often violated in realistic settings, as STM implementations run on relaxed memory models, with the atomicity of operations as provided by the hardware. This paper presents the first approach to verify STMs under relaxed...

A Workkow is a collection of tasks organized to accomplish some process. A work-ow model speciies the decomposition of tasks into component activities, and the dependencies between the activities. A workkow management systems (WFMS) employs a workkow manager (WM) to execute and automate the various activities within a workkow. Workkow activities access and update data stored in a database manag...
