Exception Handling of Composite Services Based on Autonomic Management

BPEL-based composition of Web services has become one important part of business processes, but because of the dynamic and complexity of network, it easily raises various exceptions during the execution. In order to address various exceptions may exist in execution of composite Web services process effectively; this paper proposes an effective exception handling model of composite Web services in combination of the autonomic management theories and techniques in the field of autonomic computing. This model incorporates the autonomic management element of autonomic computing to monitor the execution of composite services and to compensate or restore the business process of the composite services according to the specified policy when an exception occurs. The model enhances the exception handling autonomy while reducing the complexity of exception handling of composite services.
