This is one of our objectives for the lifecycle management library...
One of the capabilities that is required is a component that is
an exception handler.  Handling an exception could trigger a
mode change or some other action.  Another capability that
is required is checkpointing with rollback.  A third is health
monitoring (e.g., monitoring the memory usage of a model).

All of this is work, of course ...
