Specifying and Enforcing Intertask Dependencies

Summary: Intertask dependencies provide a uniform framework for extended transactions across heterogeneous systems. Event attributes define enforceability and scheduling; CTL-based formalization yields automata that compose into a global scheduler, enabling Saga-like relaxations and addressing concurrency control, safety, and recoverability.
