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 …

Today's real-time systems (RTS) are characterized by managing large volumes of dispersed
data making real-time distributed data processing a reality. Large business houses need to …

Recent research in image sensors has produced cameras with very large fields of view. An
area of computer vision research which will benefit from this technology is the computation …

In advanced real-time distributed computing databases, the main performance criterion is to
reduce the 'deadline miss' by the transactions; of course, consistency constraints also need …

We investigate the performance implications of providing transaction atomicity for firm-
deadline real-time applications, operating on distributed data. Using a detailed simulation …

Minimizing power consumption is of paramount importance during the design of embedded
(mobile computing) systems that come as systems-on-a-chip, since interdependencies …

Atomic commit protocols (ACPs) are crucial for ensuring transaction atomicity in distributed
transaction processing. However, existing ACPs, designed specifically for fixed failure …

Definition Two-phase commit (2PC) is a synchronization protocol that solves the atomic
commitment problem, a special case of the Byzantine Generals problem. Essentially, it is …
