The authors address the problem of implementing the CSP (communicating sequential processes) rendezvous within a transactional framework. Instead of implementing a fair nondeterministic choice and assuming the correct functioning of processors and communication media, the authors propose an efficient transactional implementation of the atomic rendezvous in the presence of processor failures in a multiprocessor machine. Both atomicity and efficiency are obtained by using high-speed stable storage devices
