Abstract
Distributed transactions — whose traditional domain of application is databases — have recently been brought into new areas of computer science like the management of large distributed systems and networks. There are several standards specified for distributed transaction processing in heterogeneous environments, like X/Open DTP based on DCE, and OMG OTS for CORBA environments. This paper will discuss the interoperability of these distributed transaction standards in general. A special solution for the interoperability between OTS and DTP, based on a half bridge between DCE and CORBA, is presented.
