Workflow Exception Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a classification framework for workflow exception handling in the form of patterns. This framework is independent of specific modelling approaches or technologies and as such provides an objective means of delineating the exception-handling capabilities of specific workflow systems. It is subsequently used to assess the level of exceptions support provided by eight commercial workflow systems and business process modelling and execution languages. On the basis of these investigations, we propose a graphical, tool-independent language for defining exception handling strategies in workflows.

YAWL: Power through Patterns
Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) enable the development and maintenance of workflow specifications at design time and their execution and monitoring at runtime. The open source WfMS YAWL supports the YAWL language – a formally defined language based on Petri nets which offers comprehensive support for control-flow and resource patterns. In addition, the YAWL system provides extensive support...
متن کاملDynamic and Extensible Exception Handling for Workflows: A Service-Oriented Implementation
This paper presents the realisation, using a Service Oriented Architecture, of an approach for dynamic, flexible and extensible exception handling in workflows, based not on proprietary frameworks, but on accepted ideas of how people actually work. The approach utilises an established framework for workflow flexibility called worklets and a detailed taxonomy of workflow exception patterns to pr...
متن کاملOn the Support of Workflow Activity Patterns in Process Modeling Tools: Purpose and Requirements
Patterns increase reuse of existent knowledge (e.g., design solutions, source code) within organizations and help to achieve consistency between applications. Patterns for process design have received considerable attention by both business analysts and researchers. Several patterns categories have been proposed including patterns for control and data flow, resources, process change and excepti...
متن کاملException Handling in Workflow Systems1
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 to enhance the exception handling capability of workflow management systems. In particular, this limits possible alternative exception handler ca...
متن کاملActivity patterns in process-aware information systems: basic concepts and empirical evidence
Recently, a variety of workflow patterns was suggested for capturing different aspects in process-aware information systems (PAISs) including control and data flow, resources, process change, and exception handling. All these patterns are highly relevant for implementing PAISs and for designing process modeling languages. However, current patterns provide only a partial answer to the question w...
