Transactions Management in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged as a successful paradigm for web application deployment. Economies-of-scale, elasticity, and pay-peruse pricing are the biggest promises of cloud. Database management systems serving these web applications form a critical component of the cloud environment. In order to serve thousands and a variety of applications and their huge amounts of data, these database management systems must not only scale-out to clusters of commodity servers, but also beself-managing, fault-tolerant, and highly available.In this paper we survey, analyze the currently applied transaction management techniquesand we propose a paradigm according to which, transaction management could be depicted and handled.
