Performance of Concurrency Control Mechanisms in Centralized Data
Presents perspectives on the theories, implementation, and evaluation of concurrency control, an essential aspect of modern multi-user database management systems. Among the topics are transactions and database processing, serializability-based correctness criteria, the taxonomy of concurrency control mechanisms, two-phase locking performance and its thrashing behavior, synchronizing long-lived computations, data flow graphs, and algorithms for real-time database systems.
