Sensoria Bibliography Site A Process Calculus Analysis of Compensations
Luis Caires, Carla Ferreira, Hugo Vieira
abstract:
Conversations in service-oriented computation are frequently long running. In such a
setting, traditional ACID properties of transactions cannot be reasonably implemented,
and compensation mechanisms seem to provide convenient techniques to, at least, approximate
them. In this paper, we investigate the representation and analysis of structured
compensating transactions within a process calculus model, by embedding in the
Conversation Calculus certain structured compensation programming abstractions inspired
by the ones proposed by Butler, Ferreira, and Hoare.We prove the correctness of
the embedding after developing a general notion of stateful model for structured compensations
and related results, and showing that the embedding induces such a model.
