Discrete control for safe execution of IT automation workflows
2007
Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGOPS/EuroSys European Conference on Computer Systems 2007 - EuroSys '07
As information technology (IT) administration becomes increasingly complex, workflow technologies are gaining popularity for IT automation. Writing correct workflow programs is notoriously difficult. Although static analysis tools are available, fixing defects remains manual and error-prone. This paper applies discrete control theory to IT automation workflows. Discrete control detects flaws in workflows just as static analysis does, and more importantly it also allows safe execution of flawed
