Commitment In A Partitioned Distributed Database

Summary: Conservative commitment for partitioned, detectable networks; prevents a transaction from being committed at one site and aborted elsewhere. Introduces a formal model for partitioned-system protocols, yielding more efficient approaches than prior work. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
