Temporal Violation H<strong>and</strong>ling<br />

Temporal Violation H<strong>and</strong>ling Point<br />
Selection<br />
In scientific cloud workflow systems, temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling points are those<br />
workflow activity points where temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling strategies are triggered<br />
to tackle detected temporal violations. The existing work on temporal verification<br />
adopts the philosophy <strong>of</strong> temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling required whenever a temporal<br />
violation is detected. Therefore, a checkpoint is regarded the same as a temporal<br />
violation h<strong>and</strong>ling point. However, the probability <strong>of</strong> self-recovery which utilises the<br />
time redundancy <strong>of</strong> subsequent workflow activities to automatically compensate for<br />
the time deficit is ignored, <strong>and</strong> hence would impose a high temporal violation<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling cost. To address such a problem, this thesis presents a novel adaptive<br />
temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling point selection strategy where the probability <strong>of</strong> selfrecovery<br />
is effectively utilised in temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling point selection to<br />
avoid unnecessary h<strong>and</strong>ling for temporal violations.<br />
This chapter is organised as follows. Section 7.1 presents the specifically related<br />
