Summary on Grant Application Form
Design and implementation of a transaction framework that permits a transactional application to be dynamically customize (configured) to a degree that has not been possible before. The framework will permit an application designer to choose the atomic object support system implementations that suits the requirements of the applications. Considerable degree of freedom will exist in selecting from a variety of concurrency control, persistence and server management implementations to control non-functional behaviour of the application, while leaving functional characteristics unchanged. High-level configuration management tools for specifying application's build-time and run-time configuration - the architecture of the application - will be developed.
