“…The execution guarantees are based on the notion of spheres of atomicity and isolation, which allow us to specify which parts of the business process need to be made atomic for recovery purposes and which parts of the process need to be isolated from interferences of other processes. The notion of spheres has proven to be very useful to formally formulate the properties a process needs to meet in order to guarantee correctness from a transactional point of view [11,8,4,17].…”

The Internet and the proliferation of inexpensive computing power in the form of clusters of workstations or PCs provide the basic hardware infrastructure for business to business electronic commerce in small and medium enterprises. Unfortunately, the corresponding software infrastructure is still missing. In this paper we show a way to develop appropriate tools for electronic commerce by describing the approach we have taken in the WISE project (Workflow based Interned SErvices). The goals of WISE are to develop and deploy the software infrastructure necessary to support business to business electronic commerce in the form of virtual enterprises. The idea is to combine the tools and services of different companies as building blocks of a higher level system in which a process acts as the blueprint for control and data flow within the virtual enterprise. From this idea, the final goal is to build the basic support for an Internet trading community where enterprises can join their services to provide added value processes.

“…In this section we describe two of such frameworks: the first, and the most prominent ACTA framework [16], and the Transaction Specification and Management Environment (TSME) [35] that evolved from Distributed Object Management System (DOMS) [34].…”

“…The Transaction Specification and Management Environment (TSME) [34,35] is a toolkit that supports specification and execution of different transaction models, rather than a theoretical framework designed for reasoning about their properties. The TSME provides an implementation-independent language for transaction specification, as well as an environment in which transactions can be executed.…”

Workflow and process automation : concepts and technology I by AndrzejCichocki ... [et al.]. p. cm. --(Kluwer international series in engineering and computer science ; SECS 432) Includes bibliographical references and index. ISBN 978-1-4613-7599-9 ISBN 978-1-4615-5677-0 (eBook)This chapter is focused on the first phase of the workflow application life cycle (Figure 2.1) that is responsible for process modeling and investigation of its properties.The purpose of modeling is to produce an abstraction of a process (mode~ that serves as a basis for the workflow specification. The model of a process enables us to understand what activities, dependencies among activities, and roles (human or information system skills) are necessary to the process.Process modeling methodologies can be mainly divided into the following three categories: communication-based, artifact-based and activity-based. Communication-based ModelingThe communication-based methodologies are based on Winograd/Flores "Conversation for Action Model" [92]. This methodology type represents an action in a workflow based on communication between a customer and a performer. This communication consists of four phases that are defined as follows (Figure 2.2):1. Request -a customer requests an action to be performed CHAPTER 2 Analysis Administration Development Execution Figure 2.1 Life cycle of a workflow application [41] Request ~ \ B9 Offstlon Customer ~ow ~ Pertonner Acceptance Performance Figure 2.2 Conversation for action model 2.

“…These tools can be used to run activities that query and update the data in a transactional manner. One of such tools is the Distributed Object Management System (DOMS) ( [10]). DOMS supports a variety of extended transaction models to satisfy a wide spectrum of applications.…”

A wide variety of important data remains outside of the scope of database management systems. In recent years researchers have been making efforts in two directions: first, developing database management systems that can support non-traditional data~ and secondly, offering database services for data that remains under control of autonomous (not necessarily database) systems. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of these efforts.
