摘要: Exception handling is the process by which a failure in mitigated. Depending on specifics of an exception, exception handers – specifications processes may range from halting process, through attempts activity reactivation, to identification alternative path successful completion process. Designing efficient handlers not simple task. By their very nature, exceptions are rare events that result poor design terms cost and logic. In this work we aim at improving performance workflow management systems (WfMSs), task has been recognized as fundamental component WfMSs critical deployment real-world scenarios. Our approach based observation when designing business workflow, designer some degree freedom streamlining actions. Therefore, propose model restructuring main tool reducing handling. We believe model, efficiency consideration, can increase overall productivity Although rarity allows amortizing costs over time cannot ignore altogether. cost-based prioritize impact design. contribution provision methodology for optimization phase.
