The paper focuses on transaction context propagation in component-based software architectures, where every component is deployed into a container and client requests may be performed in the scope of a container-interposed transaction. In the existing commercial architectures such as EJB and COM+, the “single attribute approach” is used to specify the transaction context propagation. Being diff...

Whenever distributed transaction processing in MANETs or other unreliable networks has to guarantee atomicity and isolation, a major challenge is how long-term blocking of resources can be avoided in case the mobile device looses connection to other participants of the transaction. We present a new technique for treating blocked data of transaction participants that wait for a coordinator’s com...

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 inside a transaction. A transaction model that meets this requirement is presented. Threads inside such a transaction may spawn new threads,...

Structured Transaction Definition Language (STDL) is a language for distributed transaction processing, developed by the Multivendor Integration Architecture consortium. STDL is a block-structured language, specialized for transaction processing. It is designed for application portability across multiple STDL implementations on different vendors’ transaction processing systems. This paper descr...

This survey sketches the broad landscape of the field of transaction costs measurement. It surveys the main research areas concerning transaction costs and offers a taxonomy: monetary and financial economics, Williamsonian transaction cost economics, the transaction sector, non-market transaction costs, environmental and ecological economics, institutions and economic growth, and the economics ...

Advances in computers and telecommunications and the development of the Internet have been applied to develop new transaction technologies that lower transaction costs. By lowering transaction costs, these changes in transaction technology make possible transaction innovation, that is, the development of new types of market transactions. Transaction innovation changes not only business methods ...

Although many extended transaction models have been proposed [Elm93], few practical implementations exist and even fewer can support more than one model. We present the Reflective Transaction Framework, as a practical and modular method to implement extended transaction models. We achieve modularity by applying the Open Implementation approach [Kic92] (also known as meta-object protocol [KdRBSl...

Credit card usage has been increased tremendously because of the popularity of E-commerce. As the usage of credit card grows the occurrence of fraudulent transactions also increases, thus comes the stipulation of fraud detection. Detection of fraudulent transaction using credit card plays a vital role in financial institutions. In the proposed work, fraud detection is done with data mining appr...
