Abstract

This paper introduces a transaction system for the wireless communication environment. Its main feature is providing flexibility and collaborative adaptation. In this type of adaptation the underlying system and applications have different responsibilities. The system is responsible for monitoring resources and notifying transactions about changes in the environment. Transactions can then react properly to these changes. Two aspects are considered: isolation level and operation mode. Moreover, the paper describes the architecture and a prototype based on CORBA.
