Abstract
Commercial services deployed within the IBC will be offered against some form of payment. Furthermore, the ability of grouping several services together will, in many occurrences, become a true requirement. For example, planning for a trip may only be meaningful if flights and hotels are both booked. To cope with these situations, ISO and the ITU-T have recently published a standard on distributed transaction processing (called OSI TP). Regional workshops, like EWOS, have developed profiles, and X/Open will soon publish related application programming interfaces.
The paper reviews the need for distributed transaction processing, its main concepts, the related standards and where they particularly fit, and discusses key issues on integrating IBC services within the framework offered by the OSI TP standard.
