    abstract = {Workflow management systems are used today to realize advanced, distributed
      application systems, e.g. to support and control real world business processes
      like ofice procedures. With the increase of sophistication of these application
      systems a flexible transaction concept is required to be added to the workflow
      management system. Business processes exploiting such advanced transaction
      features are often referred to as ``business transactions''. We propose to
      support business transactions by compensation based partial backward recovery
      of the control flow within an instance of a business process. Work units of a
      business process which are defined to be potentially subject to such kind of
      recovery are introduced as ``spheres of joint compensation''. For the workflow
      management system IBM FlowMark we show in detail how its metaodel can be
      extended to support spheres of joint compensation.
