Abstract
Software Transactional Memory (STM) has emerged a powerful abstraction
for managing access to shared data. Therefore, it is no surprise that
a handful of different STM replication schemes have been proposed in
the last recent years. In this context, we propose an architecture
that facilitates the integration and execution of multiple replication
techniques in a single, coherent, middleware infrastructure. This
paves the way towards the development of autonomic mechanisms, able to
select in runtime the most appropriate replication technique for the
workload at hand.
