Abstract

The organization for advance structured information systems (OASIS) business transaction protocol (BTP), which meets the requirement for long-running collaborative business applications, is discussed. The protocol allows relaxation of traditional ACID properties in a controlled manner specific to the web services environment. In BTP, an XML vocabulary is used for encoding messages conveyed between the participants in a transaction and the coordination infrastructure. BTP has its equivalent of heuristics, allowing participants to make unilateral decisions.
