title: Considerations on Resource Usage in Exceptions and Failures in Workflows
ispublished: pub
subjects: comp-sci-mach-dynam-sys
full_text_status: public
keywords: resource modeling, resources availability, workflow exceptions, workflow failures, worklets
abstract: The paper presents a description of some point of view of different authors related to the failures and exceptions that appear in workflows, as a direct consequence of unavailability of resources involved in the workflow.
Each of these interpretations is typical for a certain situation, depending on the authors' interpretation of failures and exceptions in workflows modeling real dynamical systems.
