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.

Lazy Evaluation for Concurrent OLTP and Bulk Transactions

TL;DR: This paper presents an abstract lazy index structure for lazy transactions, and shows how transactions can be encoded to effectively use this data structure, and discusses evaluation strategies for lazy Transactions, where trade-offs can be made between latency and throughput.

Concurrency Control in Database Systems

TL;DR: Concurrency control mechanisms including the wait, time-stamp and rollback mechanisms have been briefly discussed, and ideas like multidimensional timestamps, relaxation of two-phase locking, system defined prewrites, flexible transactions and adaptability for increasing concurrency have been summarized.

Advances in Databases and Information Systems 1997

TL;DR: A minimal extension of relational data model for logical modeling of the category of time in databases is offered and the concept of conceptual DM in which advanced declarative and/or procedural apparatus for data modeling is maintained is maintained.

Modeling Timestamp Ordering Method Using Colored Petri Net

TL;DR: This paper presents a hierarchical colored Petri net model of TO that can be used for formal verification of this algorithm and can beused as an important component in modeling and verification of database systems.

Performance evaluation of conflict serializability against 2PL in Homogenous Distributed Database

TL;DR: This dissertation analyzes the purposed techniques that provide the serial execution of the concurrent transactions and proposes a new scheme that provides the better performance than the existing 2PL schemes and achieves the consistency among the concurrent transaction execution.

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.
