Coordinating Business Transaction for Grid Service

Grid service is next-generation computing platform. Transaction for Grid service is one of the key technologies. In heterogeneous, dynamical and autonomous Grid environment, however, traditional transaction technologies is unsuitable. And little attention has been paid to support transaction coordination for Grid service. In this paper, we propose a transaction framework that can coordinate atomic and cohesion transaction and recover system from various exceptions. The atomic transaction ensures the ACID properties while the cohesion transaction relaxes the atomicity and isolation properties. By generating and executing compensation transaction automatically, the framework can satisfy the requirements of business transactions for Grid service environment.
