Abstract

The authors discuss queued transaction processing as it relates to the UNIX operating system environment. They briefly discuss the essence of the queued transaction processing model and how it relates to distributed computing models. Requirements and methods for introducing true queued transaction processing within the UNIX system environment are considered. The conclusion is that extending the UNIX system to provide queued transaction processing is relatively straightforward and is a requirement for the large scale adoption of UNIX, both to allow for further porting of legacy systems to UNIX, and because of the intrinsic need to do queued transaction processing in many large applications
