Tracking Causal Dependencies in Web Services Orchestrations Defined in ORC
Matthieu Perrin, Claude Jard, Achour Mostéfaoui · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2015
This article shows how the operational semantics of a language like ORC can be instrumented so that the execution of a program produces information on the causal dependencies between events. The concurrent semantics we obtain is based on asymmetric labeled event structures. The approach is illustrated using a Web service orchestration instance and the detection of race conditions.
