Unifying Consensus and Atomic Commitment for Effective Cloud Data Management

Summary: Unifies consensus and atomic commitment into a C&C framework for cloud data management; enables a family of protocols. Paxos Atomic Commit (PAC) and Generalized PAC (G-PAC) merge commitment with replication, showing gains versus Spanner-like 2PC+Paxos. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
