Users can dynamically de ne new actors which will be handling exceptions in a way which suits best their requirements. 5 Evaluation and Discussion Table1 provides a summary of the main features of the exception mechanisms presented in Section 4, showing the di erent approaches for each design aspect of our taxonomy (Section 3). In order to compare the exception mechanisms, we assign weights ?1, 0, or +1 to each design approach, which re ect the contribution (negative, neutral, or positive) of that approach in facilitating the construction of fault-tolerant applications.... In PAGE 28: ...The reader should note that some design aspects have mutually exclusive design approaches, while for others the approaches have an additive character (these are marked with `(+) apos; in Table1 ). Thus, the highest score attainable by a mechanism is 15, obtained by adding the maximum possible scores for each aspect A1 through A10: 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1.... In PAGE 28: ...

We believe the separation between internal and external exceptions is important. However, none of the studied mechanisms has implemented this separation; accordingly, we have assigned them weight ?1 in this approach in Table1 . Moreover, it is also important to assure that an internal exception raised by a speci c component is not propagated to higher-level components; that is, only exceptions categorised as external can be propagated outwards (see Section 2.... In PAGE 31: ... As far as fault tolerance is concerned the termination model is considered to be most adequate due to its clearer seman- tics [Liskov and Snyder, 1979]. Our choice of weights in Table1 expresses this preference. The interested reader will nd in [Cristian, 1989] a formal treatment of the termination model within the framework of software fault tolerance.... In PAGE 32: ... However, the e ective implementation of automatic clean-up is still a challenging problem and further investigation of alternative techniques is required [Lang and Stewart, 1998]. The weights assigned to this aspect in Table1 favour those approaches which explicitly support clean-up actions, either automatically or not. A9.... In PAGE 32: ... Nine mechanisms do not support concurrent exception handling in any way, two provide some very limited form of support and only one, Arche, completely supports it. It is, thus, the only mechanism which gets a +1 weight in Table1 for this aspect. Arche apos;s exception mechanism allows user-de ned resolution of multiple exceptions amongst a group of objects that belong to di erent implementations of a given type.... In PAGE 33: ...Table1 presents, in a summarised fashion, both the positive and negative features of each mechanism, allowing the developer to compare di erent mechanisms and evaluate potential di culties and the impact of a given choice in the construction of dependable software.

In PAGE 44: ... Framework designers specify variations within its design by means of extension points, which are those aspects of a domain that have to remain exible; developers extend and customize the framework design according to their speci c application needs by lling in those extension points. An object-oriented framework for exception handling can be designed in such a way that its extension points represent the various design choices (see Table1 ) for building di erent exception handling systems. For instance, Propagation of Exceptions could have two extension points associated with it: automatic or explicit.... ..."

This is in part because marginal cost is declining up to minimum capacity and it is not generally optimal, in terms of minimizing energy cost, for on-line generators to operate where output exhibit declining marginal cost. 2 We approximate these characteristics with the cost and capacity parameters for all generators shown in Table1 . Each power plant facility consists of three generators whose respective marginal costs are constant up to maximum capacity: (i) a low cost baseload unit with a minimum loaded must-run (the industry term) capacity of 1 We found it interesting that industry representatives, while recognizing that academics are mesmerized by network externalities (loop flow problems), consider this a lower priority issue than studying market performance and behavior in the context of generator supply inflexibilities and the limited current technical ability of local distribution companies (wholesale buyers in our market) to interrupt demand.... ..."
