CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A task scheduler receives a job from a client. The dependency resolver queries the database for task states, determines which tasks have all dependencies satisfied, and either schedules them for execution or reports a deadlock.
Key decisions
- Use of alt fragment to branch between success and deadlock
- Activation scopes for Scheduler and DependencyResolver
- Inclusion of Database and Worker as external participants
When to reuse this
When modeling the internal flow of a task scheduling system with dependency resolution and distributed execution, such as in workflow engines or CI/CD pipelines.
