Abstract

Complex enterprises support heterogeneous, distributed, multi-system computing environments. Many activities in these enterprises are of long duration and consist of multiple operations that require different services, may execute on heterogeneous information systems, and may involve interaction with multiple individuals. Also, activities must be resilient to failures. In this paper, we explore the relevant issues that need to be addressed for supporting the automation of activities in such an environment. The Activity/Transaction Model of [3] meets most of these requirements. Based on this model, we are designing and implementing support for operation flow management as part of the Pegasus project [1].
