Consistency and Correctness in Data-Oriented Workflow Systems
Summary: Propose AC/DC—ACID for workflows—and argue durable execution (exactly-once steps, ensured compensations) is required for correct workflows. DB-centric prototype supports physical backout and durable sagas; experiments show transactions win at low contention, durable sagas win under contention/long steps.
