Introduction
Distributed transaction processing has become a very important part of distributed computing. Our research originating from the development of the peer-to-peer transactional paradigm identified a number of open issues not only relating to peer but to transaction processing in general. Such issues were the need for reconciling chained and unchained transactions, context management, multiprotocol and transaction-model independent transaction managers and the manipulation of transactional objects. In more detail our work has concentrated and contributed to the following research topics of distributed transaction processing.
