Abstract
A transaction management protocol for a multi-processor computer system in which the processors are organized in multi-level hierarchy for implementing the transaction, the protocol being a modification and elaboration of the Presumed Abort (PA) protocol. A coordinating processor is permitted to forget the participation of a subordinate as soon as the protocol has reached the point at which the subordinate's actions on recovery from a crash would be independent of the outcome (commit or abort) of the protocol.
