Supporting transactional service for virtual school environments

Abstract

With recent technical advances in Internet technologies, virtual schools become an important alternative for the traditional school. The virtual schools can overcome time and space limit in the traditional class. But, existing technologies still have some technical limitations for virtual implementation. Especially, existing transaction models are not suitable for supporting virtual schools. In this paper, we first identify transaction requirements for virtual school environments and present a new transaction model based on those requirements. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
