Abstract
Transactional memory is a rather novel approach to concurrency control in parallel computing, that has just recently found its way into distributed systems. However, the research concentrates mainly on single processor solutions or cluster environment. In this paper we argue, that peer-to-peer systems would require a different design of transactional memory and we present a few of our design ideas, that as we think could be important to a successful implementation of a scalable and resilient transactional memory.
