Caprera: An Activity Framework for Transaction Processing on Wide-Area Networks

Summary: Caprera introduces an activity model for extending transaction processing across wide-area, intermittently connected networks. Its programmable client/server architecture supports offline mobile and remote clients, enabling offline transaction processing (OFTP) against corporate systems.
