-This is the abstract.
+The \CFA (Cforall) programming language is an evolutionary refinement of
+the C programming language, adding modern programming features without
+changing the programming paradigms of C.
+One of these modern programming features is more powerful error handling
+through the addition of an exception handling mechanism (EHM).
+
+This thesis covers the design and implementation of the \CFA EHM,
+along with a review of the other required \CFA features.
+The EHM includes common features of termination exception handling and
+similar support for resumption exception handling.
+The design of both has been adapted to utilize other tools \CFA provides,
+as well as fit with the assertion based interfaces of the language.
+
+The EHM has been implemented into the \CFA compiler and run-time environment.
+Although it has not yet been optimized, performance testing has shown it has
+comparable performance to other EHM's,
+which is sufficient for use in current \CFA programs.
