TLDR
A survey of concurrency control methods for distributed database concurrency can be found in this paper, where the authors decompose the problem into two major subproblems, read-write and write-write synchronization, and describe a series of synchromzation techniques for solving each subproblem.
Abstract
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 problem into two major subproblems: read-write and write-write synchronization. We describe a series of synchromzation techniques for solving each subproblem and show how to combine these techniques into algorithms for solving the entire concurrency control problem. Such algorithms are called "concurrency control methods." We describe 48 principal methods, including all practical algorithms that have appeared m the literature plus several new ones. We concentrate on the structure and correctness of concurrency control algorithms. Issues of performance are given only secondary treatment.

The integration of rule systems and database systems

TL;DR: The integration of rule systems into database management systems is explored and the focus is on prototype systems that have been completely specified and the implementation issues encountered.

Conflict detection tradeoffs for replicated data

TL;DR: This paper examines the performance of these algorithms for update transactions as a function of data contention for various levels of data replication and “distributedness” of accesses to replicated data by using a detailed model of a distributed DBMS to study a set of representative algorithms.

Extracting more concurrency from distributed transactions

TL;DR: ROCOCO is presented, a novel concurrency control protocol for distributed transactions that outperforms 2PL and OCC by allowing more concurrency and is compared to OCC and 2PL using a scaled TPC-C benchmark.

The Reliability of Voting Mechanisms

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of selecting vote assignments in order to maximize the probability that the critical operations can be performed at a given time by some group of nodes, and suggests simple heuristics to assign votes.

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and a distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used to totally order the events.

The notions of consistency and predicate locks in a database system

TL;DR: It is argued that a transaction needs to lock a logical rather than a physical subset of the database, and an implementation of predicate locks which satisfies the consistency condition is suggested.

Monitors: an operating system structuring concept

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop Brinch-Hansen's concept of a monitor as a method of structuring an operating system and describe a possible method of implementation in terms of semaphores and give a suitable proof rule.
