Exception Specification and Handling in Workflow Systems

An approach based on constraint satisfaction problems to disruptive event management in supply chains

“…Disruption management in the execution of supply processes can be seen from the perspective of exception handling in complex software systems such as Workflow Management Systems, Process Management Systems and Self-healing Systems. In Workflow Management Systems, the support for exception handling goes from the definition of exception handlers and methods for the specification of exceptional behavior to classification and forecasting of exceptions (Hwang and Tang, 2004;Song and Han, 2003;Yuan et al, 2008). In Process Management Systems the definition of exception handlers invoked under given conditions provide support for given types of exceptions (Hamadi et al, 2008;Weske, 2007).…”
