Abstract

Workflow management systems (WFMSs) more and more become the basic technology for organizations to perform their daily business processes (workflows). A consistent and reliable execution of such processes is crucial for all organizations. We claim that this can only be achieved by integrating transactional features - especially "workflow transactions" - into WFMSs. Based on this idea,we discuss in detail advanced workflow recovery concepts which are necessary for the reliable and consistent execution of business processes in the presence of failures and exceptions. Additionally, we distinguish between different workflow types and present adequate recovery concepts for each of them.
