The emerging web services provide an effective
means to carry out automated transactions between
multiple business parties. While there are several specific protocols currently being discussed to address the
coordination of web services-enabled business transactions, we consider the tentative hold protocol (THP)
that allows the placement of tentative holds on business
resources prior to actual transactions in order to provide increased flexibility in coordination. In this paper,
we present a framework for applying THP in conjunction with 2PC to the problem in which service providers
independently manage resources and clients seek to acquire the resources from multiple providers as a single
atomic transaction. The proposed framework also facilitates the performance optimization of THP through
effective parameterization with the notion of overhold
size and hold duration. Accordingly, a detailed analysis is carried out to obtain an efficient method that
can optimize the performance by adaptively determining the hold duration. The simulation results show that
the proposed adaptive approach yields a significant improvement over other non-adaptive policies.
