Split-Transactions for Open-Ended Activities

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose splittransaction, a new database operation that allows transactions to commit data that will not change and serialize interactions with other concurrent activities through the committed data.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new approach to version control

TL;DR: It is shown that the join operation is simply the lattice least upper bound and together with the variant structure principle, provides a systematic framework for recombining divergent variants.

Software Development Support for AI Programs

TL;DR: These expert systems can perform almost as well as human experts in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, finding the structure of chemical compounds, and performing mathematical symbol manipulations.

A distributed repository for immutable persistent objects

TL;DR: JStore is described, a distributed, replicated repository for system model objects that provides robust, transactional, write-once storage.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Version control in families of large programs

On-the-fly garbage collection: an exercise in cooperation

TL;DR: As an example of cooperation between sequential processes with very little mutual interference despite frequent manipulations of a large shared data space, a technique is developed which allows nearly all of the activity needed for garbage detection and collection to be performed by an additional processor operating concurrently with the processor devoted to the computation proper.
