Service grids possess the features of intelligence and automation to compose heterogeneous resources and will be a commercial
focus in network economy pattern. However, service grid business is loosely-coupled, distributed and long-running, so there
is a real challenge for the researchers to provide consistency and reliability for service grid business. This paper references
the transaction management methods in Web service and the safepoint concept in workflow system, combines with the feature
of the service grid, and then presents a transaction management model based on service grid. This model guarantees the robustness
of grid service composition and assures that service grid enabling system provides consistent and reliable results for the
consumers.
Key words service grid - transaction - coordination framework - coordination protocol - recovery - salepoint
