We promote the use of transactional attributes for modelling business processes in the service-oriented scenario. Transactional attributes have been introduced in Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) to decorate the methods published in Java containers. Attributes describe “modalities” that discipline the reconfiguration of transactional scopes (i.e., of caller and callee) upon method invocation. An orig...

Topic introduction units can be defined as conversation turn sequences with which the interviewer or conversational partner may introduce the topic of the dream. In relation t...

Distributed Software Transactional Memory (D-STM) is a recent but promising model for programming distributed systems. It aims to present programmers with a simple to use abstraction (transactions), while maintaining performance and scalability similar to distributed fine-grained locks. Any complications usually associated with such locks (i.e. distributed deadlock) are avoided. Building upon t...
