Abstract
Transactions are a necessary part of many distributed operations. Frequently two or more objects may need to synchronize changes of state so that they all occur, or none occur. This happens in situations such as control of ownership, where one party has to give up ownership at the same time as another asserts ownership. What has to be avoided is only one party performing the action, which could result in the property having either no owners or two owners.
