Common use of Dealing with failures Clause in Contracts

Dealing with failures. In the description of the algorithm we assumed no failures. Let us now study what happens if failures occur. According to our objectives, transactions should commit, even if some of the participants abort, and most importantly, sites should not become blocked. We consider three possible types of failure: site crash, message loss, and network partition.
