+ * @ingroup distributed
+ *
+ * Using the core services of FRSH, contracts may be negotiated in a
+ * single step.
+ *
+ * An alternative two-step negotiation process is introduced in the
+ * distribution module: the first step involves the reservation of the
+ * resources, but without the right to use them, and the second step
+ * is the commitment to use those resources.
+ *
+ * The rationale behind this approach is that in distributed systems,
+ * when a distributed transaction is being negotiated the system
+ * should only commit the virtual resources that were negotiated with
+ * various nodes in the system if the results of all negotiations
+ * match together. This approach enhances the efficiency since the
+ * actual temporal values of the virtual resources on distributed
+ * nodes are only changed if the initiator of the distributed
+ * transaction is satisfied with the results of the negotiations.
+ *
+ * After the reservation, it is not necessary to change the actual
+ * virtual resource attributes (and modifying the schedule) on each
+ * node before the initiator of the distributed transaction knows the
+ * amount of available virtual resources. A renegotiation of a
+ * reserved virtual resource is possible, to harmonize for the
+ * available virtual resources in other parts of the system, before a
+ * final commitment is made.
+ *
