	%X Most of the concurrent transactional protocols consider
serializability as a correctness criterion of the transactions execution.
Usually, the proof of the serializability relies on mathematical proofs
for a fixed finite number of transactions. In this paper, we introduce
a protocol to deal with an infinite number of transactions which are
iterated infinitely often. We specify serializability of the transactions
and the protocol using a specification language based on temporal
logics. It is worthwhile using temporal logics such as LTL (Lineartime
Temporal Logic) to specify transactions, to gain full automatic
verification by using model checkers.
