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 …

Distributed operating systems have many aspects in common with centralized ones, but they
also differ in certain ways. This paper is intended as an introduction to distributed operating …

In Distributed Algorithms, Nancy Lynch provides a blueprint for designing, implementing,
and analyzing distributed algorithms. She directs her book at a wide audience, including …

I am pleased to announce the free on-line availability of the book" Concurrency Control and
Recovery in Database Systems," by Philip A. Bernstein, Vassos Hadzilacos, and Nathan …

The first edition of this book appeared in 1991 when the technology was new and there were
not too many products. In the Preface to the first edition, we had quoted Michael Stonebraker …

This paper presents an algorithm by which a process in a distributed system determines a
global state of the system during a computation. Many problems in distributed systems can …

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 …

A number of recent studies have examined the performance of concurrency control
algorithms for database management systems. The results reported to date, rather than …

Distributed deadlock models are presented for resource and communication deadlocks.
Simple distributed algorithms for detection of these deadlocks are given. We show that all …

A formal model for atomic commit protocols for a distributed database system is introduced.
The model is used to prove existence results about resilient protocols for site failures that do …
