A Ring-Based Decentralized Collaborative Non-blocking Atomic Commit Protocol

Deco: A Decentralized, Cooperative Atomic Commit Protocol

“…In this paper, we propose a decentralized, collaborative transaction protocol for distributed transaction processing. This paper continues the work in [21]. It comes from the need to provide a decentralized and collaborative transaction protocol for Cadabia (Class Algebra Data Base and Intelligent Agent).…”

“…A rough description about Cadabia is provided in Section 2.1. In addition to [21], we provide a correctness proof, theoretical analysis, and new simulation results for our protocol. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proposal for using the token accumulation approach to design a decentralized atomic commit transaction protocol.…”

Distributed Transactions for Semantic Web Workflows - Overcoming the CAP Limitations on Virtual Organizations

“…Like our short-term transactions [3], they used multicasting to pass the "current" states of each process group to implement an extended version of virtual synchrony. We discuss the comparison in more detail in Section 6.…”

“…The implementation of short-term transactions has been described elsewhere [3], so we will not go into detail here. Basically, application-layer multicasting is used to transmit a vector of clock times and current states, where all participants use a common finite-state automaton to describe their current states.…”

“…We first define the implementation of short-term transactions [3] with fixed participants. These short-term transactions are then used to implement long-term transactions which guarantee that all current participants will be notified of any changes to the data which they have viewed since the last checkpoint.…”
