Transaction processing (TP) has been successfully used in database

applications from decades. The basic principle of TP is to provide

applications with concurrent, reliable and efficient access to shared data

sources. Classical transaction processing has been well understood and

highly researched through the design and development of numerous models,

protocols, frameworks, prototype tools and commercial systems.

The current widespread technological advancements in computer systems,

software applications, communication networks, and mobile devices provide

new platforms such as Web x.0, cloud services, Internet of Things, or

mobile and pervasive computing. These new platforms create new challenges

for transaction processing. These challenges are to deal with environments

wherein computing devices and services are context-aware, adaptive and

responsive to the userâ?™s needs and the execution environment. Further,

without regard to time and location they allow users to move between

geographical areas and acquire a variety of services using handheld

devices and wireless networks. These new platforms demand new ways of

managing and processing transactions.

The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and

practitioners in order to present the current research work on the

advances in transaction processing. The main topics to be addressed

include (but not limited to):

* Advanced transaction models and protocols

* Failure and recovery of transactions

* Testing of transactions

* Performance and efficiency of transactions

* New correctness criteria and properties of transactions

* Transactional web services and SOA

* Cloud service provisioning using transactional applications

* Context-aware transaction processing

* Transaction processing in the (Web) Internet of Things

* Mobile and pervasive transactions

* Transactional memory
