Abstract
this paper, is characterized by three very simple insights: . Extending the transaction model does not solve the problem, because a long-lived computation is much more complex than an ACID transaction. On the other hand, nobody is helped by a type of transaction, which is neither A, nor C, nor I, nor D. . Managing long-lived computations requires more systematic approaches than pragmatic extensions to existing operating systems and TP-monitors. . Apart from its close relationship to databases, handling long-lived computations is a problem of proper language abstractions. Whereas simple modules (and transaction programs, for that matter) have a system residence time of 10
