<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributed computing system having a mechanism for efficiently coordinating transactions between nodes in the system. <P>SOLUTION: One or more nodes 202, 204, and 206 may negotiate maximum time periods in which to communicate with each other or a transaction coordinator 208. Each of nodes 202, 204, and 206 is determined to be non-responsive when the time since a last communication exceeds the maximum time period. The maximum time period may include an adjustment for the latency of at least a portion of the distributed computing system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
