Architecture of the Encina Distributed Transaction Processing Family

Summary: Encina's toolkit-based distributed transaction processing family enables reliable, ACID-compliant distributed apps via modular components and protocols. Shows how these components compose higher-level DCE services and introduces the Encina Monitor for organizing machine and server clusters. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
