Abstract
We have been developing ADOME-WFMS as a comprehensive framework in which the problem of workflow exception handling can be adequately addressed. In this paper, we present detailed design for ADOME-WFMS with procedures for supporting the following: an integrated approach starting from exception detection to exception resolution, reuse of exception handlers, and automated resolution of expected exceptions.
This research has been partly funded by HKSAR RGC Grant HKUST 747/96E.
