✦ Synopsis

This paper proposes a method based on constraint programming to realize workflow systems that handle regular and exceptional transactions. In this method, regulations placed on each activity in a workflow task are described as constraints that represent the final data to be generated by that activity. A workflow task is realized by a mechanism in which the agent allocated to each activity keeps data consistent with the constraints set on that activity. Our method provides the following advantages: (1) no programming is needed to manage exceptional transactions, (2) guaranteed consistency among data in a workflow task, and (3) easy maintenance of workflow systems.
