Abstract
A kernel providing transaction oriented communication services is proposed as an interface module between distributed database systems and generalized communication systems. In order to support an easy and efficient implementation of application layer protocols for distributed database systems, this kernel provides high level services for transaction oriented message exchange, commit processing, etc. It is argued that the underlying generalized communication system should provide services for connectionless data transmission, multicast and the surveillance of remote sites.
