Flexible and Semantics-Based Support for Web Services Transaction Protocols

Increasing successful rate of long running transactions is challenging in the heterogeneous environment because business processes become complex and the spanning time are unpredictable. This paper focuses on reducing the failure rate of completing transactions. A novel algorithm for flexible and semantic-based support to executing long running transactions is proposed. The algorithm is to provide a novel management for Web service transactions. The solution is to classify services based on semantics, and provide flexibility by calculation of recommendation. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be employed by many transaction protocols to improve the management of transactions. Tentative Hold Protocol is used and combined with the proposed solution to achieve flexibility of execution transactions.
