In this paper we survey, consolidate, and present the state of the art in distributed database
concurrency control. The heart of our analysts is a decomposition of the concurrency control …

Spanner is Google's scalable, multiversion, globally distributed, and synchronously
replicated database. It is the first system to distribute data at global scale and support …

The consensus problem involves an asynchronous system of processes, some of which may
be unreliable. The problem is for the reliable processes to agree on a binary value. In this …

I am pleased to announce the free on-line availability of the book" Concurrency Control and

A transaction is a transformation of state which has the properties of atomicity (all or
nothing), durability (effects survive failures) and consistency (a correct transformation). The …

Transactional Information Systems is the long-awaited, comprehensive work from leading
scientists in the transaction processing field. Weikum and Vossen begin with a broad look at …

Concurrency control is the activity of synchronizing operations issued by concurrently
executing programs on a shared database. The goal is to produce an execution that has the …

We develop a formalism called a distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distributed
CSP) and algorithms for solving distributed CSPs. A distributed CSP is a constraint …

Abstract Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are a ubiquitous and critical component
of modern computing, and the result of decades of research and development in both …
