With the Internet changing from era Web1.0 of computers’ interaction to era Web2.0 of users’ interaction, the development of transactional community has become the key solution to combine economic value with social value in social commerce. Transactional community is different from traditional social community in its relationship establishment because of the unique motivations of their members....

This paper argues that caching, atomicity and layering are fundamental to persistent systems, and that the transactional object cache architecture, as an embodiment of these concerns, provides a foundation for high performance persistent system construction. Central to the paper is a description of the semantics of an abstract transactional object cache architecture that supports a wide range o...

The transactional workkows (TWF) model can be regarded as a merging point of extended transaction models and general workkow model, it emphasizes both transactional aspect and business process aspect. In this report, we present a hierarchical approach for representing transactional workkows and discuss both transactional and business process aspects that a TWF should capture. We also introduce ...

It is generally agreed that one of the key services of componentbased systems are transactions. However, an agreement on how components should be involved in transactions is still missing. In this paper, we discuss some of the key issues of combining components with transactions, and different approaches to achieve an appropriate level of transactional functionality in components. We distinguis...

Transactional memory (TM) systems implement the concept of an atomic execution unit called transaction in order to discharge programmers from explicit synchronization management. But when shared data is atomically accessed by both transaction and non-transactional code, a TM system must provide strong isolation in order to overcome consistency problems. Strong isolation enforces ordering betwee...

Transactions are contracts that guarantee a consistent, transparent, individual system state transition and their use is widespread in many different kinds of computing systems. Some well known standards (e.g. CORBA) include the specification of services that provide transactional properties. In this paper, we present a formal method for the systematic synthesis of transactional middleware base...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of transactional analysis training on parent-child conflicts among male high school students. This quasi-experimental research had a pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population of the study was comprised of all male first graders of high school in Central Marhamat Abad district, West Azerbaijan Province, in school year 2014-15. Th...

I have adapted STAMP benchmarks [1] for use with the MPARM simulator in order to evaluate the performance of transactional cache configurations. We are primarily interested in evaluating energy consumption in multi-core mobile devices. There are two main hardware configurations being evaluated: a simple transactional cache (“vanilla TM”), and a victim cache configuration. In the vanilla configu...

Noninjecting illicit drug users (NIDUs) present high risk for HIV infection, due especially to transactional sex. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors for transactional sex among NIDUs in the Southwest region of Goiás State, Central Brazil. The prevalence of self-reported transactional sex was 22.8%. Prevalence in women and men was 52.7% and 16.8%, respectively, a signif...
