A CONCURRENCY CONTROL MODEL FOR MULTIPARTY BUSINESS PROCESSES

Abstract

Although the issue of atomicity of multiparty business processes is well understood and widely studied, the concurrency control issues of multiparty business processes is not studied nor well understood. In this paper, we restrict ourselves on this issue. First we motivate the need of concurrency control in this context. Then, we present a liberal correctness criterion, called set-serializability and a scheduler based on timestamp ordering rule that produces set-serializable executions. Technically the scheduler is very simple and it can be easily integrated with the protocol that ensures the atomicity of the multiparty business processes. In implementing the atomicity protocol and the scheduler we utilize the WS-Coordination, which is a general and extensible framework for defining protocols for coordinating activities that are part of business processes.
