Isolation Support for Service-based Applications: A Position Paper
Summary: Proposes 'Promises', a client-facing abstraction providing isolation for long-running service-oriented operations without locks/ACID. Promises let clients assert/check resource conditions and rely on them for later actions via a uniform API, supported by varied server-side enforcement (reservations, versions, leases).
