A Fault Tolerance Mechanism for Hybrid Scientific Workflows
<|reference_start|>A Fault Tolerance Mechanism for Hybrid Scientific Workflows: In large distributed systems, failures are a daily event occurring frequently, especially with growing numbers of computation tasks and locations on which they are deployed. The advantage of representing an application with a workflow is the possibility of exploiting Workflow Management System (WMS) features such as portability. A relevant feature that some WMSs supply is reliability. Over recent years, the emergence of hybrid workflows has posed new and intriguing challenges by increasing the possibility of distributing computations involving heterogeneous and independent environments. Consequently, the number of possible points of failure in the execution increased, creating different important challenges that are interesting to study. This paper presents the implementation of a fault tolerance mechanism for hybrid workflows based on the recovery and rollback approach. A representation of the hybrid workflows with the formal framework is provided, together with the experiments demonstrating the functionality of implementing approach.<|reference_end|>
