A Formal Approach to Recovery by Compensating Transactions
Summary: Introduces a formal model for recovery using compensating transactions to undo effects of committed or uncommitted operations without cascading aborts. Characterizes a spectrum of correct compensations—from undo to application-specific schemes—suited for long-running and nested transactions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
