Principles of Transaction Processing is a clear, concise guide for anyoneinvolved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems,or engineering products. This book provides an understanding of the internals oftransaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them.It includes the architecture of transaction processing monitors, transactionalcommunications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction andsystem failures.
Use of transaction processing systems in business, industry, andgovernment is increasing rapidly; the emergence of electronic commerce onthe Internet is creating new demands. As a result, many developers areencountering transaction processing applications for the first time and needa practical explanation of techniques. Software engineers who build andmarket operating systems, communications systems, programming tools, andother products used in transaction processing applications will also benefitfrom this thorough presentation of principles. Rich with examples, itdescribes commercial transaction processing systems, transactional aspectsof database servers, messaging systems, Internet servers, andobject-oriented systems, as well as each of their subsystems.
* Easy-to-read descriptions of fundamentals.* Real world examples illustrating key points.* Focuses on practical issues faced by developers.* Explains most major products and standards, including IBM's CICS, IMS, and MQSeries; X/Open's XA, STDL, and TX; BEA Systems' TUXEDO; Digital's ACMS; Transarc's Encina; AT&T/NCR's TOP END; Tandem's Pathway/TS; OMG's OTS; and Microsoft's Microsoft Transaction Server."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
