Improving the performance of time-constrained workflow processing

, and . The Journal of Systems and Software, (2001)

Abstract

Many workflow applications often have timing constraints such that each processing of a workflow needs to be finished within its deadline. The objective is to address a wuitable scheme that can maximize the number of workflow instances satisfying the given deadline. They first present a method to find out a set of critical activities where a critical activity is the one whose delay of completion directly affects the overall processing time of a workflow. Since each critical activity have a certain number of serevers for the sufficient processing capacity, we then develop a method to determine the minimun number os servers for the critical activity such that this activity should be finished without delay for a given input arrival rate.
