| Abstract | Atomic commitment protocols ensure that a transaction terminates consistently, meaning that it either commits at all sites or aborts at all sites, even if failures occur during the protocol. We can evaluate atomic commitment protocols in many ways including resiliency and blocking. Resiliency indicates what failures the protocol tolerates while blocking indicates under what conditions the protocol can be blocked. Blocking is undesirable, because it can cause processes to wait for an arbitrary long period of time. Web service standards provide a means for developing atomic commitment protocols for composing Web services that are failure resilient but their shortage is that the processes may be blocked an arbitrary long period of time. In particular, this is the case in using WS-Atomic Transaction protocol for coordination and WS-ReliableMessaging protocol for messaging. In this paper, we present an atomic commitment protocol, called Reliable WS-Atomic Transaction, and its termination protocol, which is failure resilient and non-blocking as long as a failed site can communicate with a process that has received sufficient information to know whether the transaction will be committed or aborted. We also present how the protocol can be implemented by exploiting the WS-Coordination specification. The gain of the proposed protocol is that we can decrease the amount of blockings. On the other hand, the price to be paid is the introduction of a termination protocol, which is invoked by the atomic commitment protocol when it has been waiting a predetermined time for an anticipated message. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
