Active Rule Support

One of the goals of the WIDE project is the management of exceptions by means of an active component. This chapter presents the rule language used in the WIDE project, called Chimera-Exc, and then describes the behavior of the active engine used for processing the rules, called Foro Active Rule (FAR) system. Chapter 3 describes the conceptual model adopted within WIDE: the current chapter describes the typical exceptions used on a workflow system.
