Transaction Processing

• Web services coordination and transactions (see also the AEM page on SOA)
• Transactional Attitudes (see the paper "Transactional Attitudes: Reliable Composition of Autonomous Web Services")
• Conditional Messaging and Dependency-Spheres (see the paper "Dependency-Spheres: A Global Transaction Context for Distributed Objects and Messages")
• Long-Running Unit of Work (see the paper "A Distributed Object Oriented Framework to Offer Transactional Support for Long Running Business Processes")
