The Common Object Request Broker Architecture standardizes a platform- and programming-language-independent distributed object com-puting environment. It also provides a standard for several distributed servic-es. The Object Transaction Service provides an ...
Analytic queueing network models constitute a flexible tool for the study of network flow. These aggregate models are simple to manipulate and their analytic aspect renders them suitable for use within an optimization framework. Analytic queueing network m ...
This position paper is a follow-up paper of the one presented at the last IRTAW workshop. The paper describes a model for providing transaction support for concurrent programming languages such as Ada 95. In order to achieve smooth integration, the use of ...
This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions to implement wait-free and non-blocking contention managers in a shared memory system. The necessary conditions hold even when universal objects (like compare-and-swap) or random oracles are availab ...
This note gives a high level and informal account of the necessary part of the proof that Ω is the weakest failure detector to implement consensus with a majority of correct processes. The proof originally appeared in a widely cited but rarely understood p ...

This paper describes a model for providing transaction support for object-oriented concurrent programming languages. In order to achieve seamless integration, the use of the concurrency features provided by the programming language should not be restricted ...
In a transactional system, an {\em atomic commitment} protocol ensures that for any transaction, all {\em Data Manager} processes agree on the same outcome {\em (commit} or {\em abort)}. A {\em non-blocking atomic commitment} protocol enables an outcome to ...
In a transactional system, an atomic commitment protocol ensures that for any transaction, all data managers agree on the same outcome: commit or abort. A non-blocking atomic commitment protocol enables an outcome to be decided at every correct data manage ...
