Abstract

A communication kernel for distributed database systems is presented. This kernel provides communication primitives that support the creation, execution and termination of nested transactions. Moreover, this kernel maintains so-called transaction state tables, which are used to recall uncompleted transactions during restart recovery. Besides a detailed description of these primitives, the paper presents an addressing mechanism based on the new concept of functional port classes.

This work was supported in part by the United States Army through its European Research Office under Grant DAJA 37–82-C-0419.
