Chapter 13. Parallel Workflow scenario 399
13.2.3 Analysis of the design options
We consider the following options for this scenario:
Human interaction
Fault handling and compensation
Event handling
Dynamicity
Also, the design options for the Parallel Process pattern that we discussed in
Chapter 12, “Parallel Process scenario” on page 331, are relevant to the parallel
workflow pattern. For the sake of brevity, we do not discuss them again here.
Human interaction
In many cases, some activities within a process are not automated, but rather
they are completed by a person or a team. These tasks can be modeled in
WebSphere Process Server using the human interaction capabilities.
