Abstract :
A distributed commit protocol suitable for multicomputer systems is described. A general programming environment which provides transactions as a programming tool is discussed. This environment is expected to be more dynamic than a database management system; in particular, it is not known how many and which processes will participate in a specific transaction. Therefore, a model of completely distributed transactions, without any hierarchical structure among the participant processes or any centralized locus of control, is proposed
