Compensable Programs

Formal Methods and Hybrid Real-Time Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 4700))

Abstract

Transaction-based services are increasingly being applied in solving many universal interoperability problems. Compensation is one typical feature for long-running transactions. This paper presents a design matrix model for specifying the behaviour of compensable programs and provides new healthiness conditions to capture these new programming features. The new model for handling exception and compensation is built as conservative extension of the standard relational model in the sense that the algebraic laws presented in [14] remain valid. The paper also shows that the design matrix model is a retract of the design model.
