Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
Replication is a widely used method for achieving high availability in database systems. Due to the nondeterminism inherent in traditional concurrency control schemes, however, sp...
Abstract. We develop a variant of Gordon and Hankin's concurrent object calculus with support for flexible access control on methods. We investigate safe administration and ac...
Traditional concurrency control techniques for database systems (transaction management based on locking protocols) have been successful in many multiuser settings, but these tech...
Database systems for real-time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions. Typically, a timing constraint is expressed in the form of a deadline and ...
