Application specific transaction management in multidatabase systems

We present a transaction model for multidatabase systems with autonomous component systems, coined heterogeneous 3-level transactions. It has become evident that in such a system the requirements of guaranteeing full ACID properties and full local autonomy can not be reconciled. In the heterogeneous 3-level transaction model, semantics of actions and specific properties of the architecture of multidatabase systems and of applications are utilized to define application specific compromises between these competing goals
