Spring framework in smart proxy transaction model

This paper explores adoption of open source application framework in Smart Proxy (sProxy) Transaction model for transaction support. An open source application framework - Spring Framework is plugged into the Smart Proxy (sProxy) Transactional model to support transactional properties. Spring Framework in the sProxy Transaction model increases the transactional interoperability in Web Services context. © 2009 IEEE

Mapping historical and contemporary agrarian transformations and capitalist infiltration in a complex upland environment: A case from eastern Nepal

The relationship that mountain communities have with global capitalism are complex, being mediated by a diverse topography and ecology, both of which provide opportunities for capital accumulation, while also isolating older, “pre-capitalist” modes of production. This paper takes a case study valley from Nepal's eastern hills, tracing over two centuries of agrarian change and evolving interactions between “adivasi” and “semi-feudal” economic formations with capitalism. In recent years, the expansion of markets, rising demand for cash, and climate stress have solidified migrant labour as a core component of livelihoods, and the primary mechanism of surplus appropriation from the hill peasantry. Through a focus on three altitudinal zones, however, it is demonstrated how the trajectory of this transformation, including the interactions with persisting pre-capitalist formations, is mediated by both political–economic processes and the local agro-ecological context

A smart proxy for a next generation Web Services transaction

In this paper, we propose and describe sProxy - smart proxy, a software tool in Web Services transaction. sProxy acts as a gateway between transaction management systems and Web services which implements a key abstraction of proxy management systems. This enables to perform transactions in the loosely coupled environment i.e. loose coupling among services. Proxies are useful to invoke Web services to allow an easy programming model that facilitates the serialization and transmission of service invocations. Our proposed model supports relaxation of traditional ACID properties with existing commit and recovery protocols. The model works on non-ACID type of transactions which encapsulates Web services. It also uses multithreading proxies to check and update transaction simultaneously. The proposed model solves the current problems with distributed computational activities which involves both transactions and Web Services. The proposed model is more abstract and generic as demonstrated in the paper
