Workflow management systems are used today to realize advanced,
distributed application systems, e.g. to support and control real
world business processes like ofice procedures. With the increase of
sophistication of these application systems a flexible transaction
concept is required to be added to the workflow management system.
Business processes exploiting such advanced transaction features are
often referred to as "business transactions". We propose
to support business transactions by compensation based partial
backward recovery of the control flow within an instance of a
business process. Work units of a business process which are defined
to be potentially subject to such kind of recovery are introduced as
"spheres of joint compensation". For the workflow
management system IBM FlowMark we show in detail how its metaodel
can be extended to support spheres of joint compensation.
