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.read more

The performance of multiversion concurrency control algorithms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a simulation study of the performance of several multiversion concurrency control algorithms, investigating the extent to which they provide increases in the level of concurrency and also the CPU, I/O, and storage costs resulting from the use of multiple versions.

Distributed programming with shared data
Henri E. Bal,Andrew S. Tanenbaum +1 more
TL;DR: The authors discuss how automatic replication (initiated by the run-time system) can be used as a basis for a model, called the shared data-object model, whose semantics are similar to the shared variable model.

Distributed Version Management for Read-Only Actions
TL;DR: This work presents four new concurrency control protocols that eliminate all interference between read-only actions and update actions, and thus offer significantly improved performance for read- only actions.

Concurrency control issues in nested transactions
Theo Härder,Kurt Rothermel +1 more
TL;DR: A model for nested transactions is proposed allowing for effective exploitation of intra-transaction parallelism, and it can be shown how “controlled downward inheritance” for hierarchical objects is achieved in nested transactions.

Replication techniques for speeding up parallel applications on distributed systems
TL;DR: A new model is introduced, the shared data‐object model, that eases the implementation of parallel applications on loosely coupled systems, but can still be implemented efficiently, and has many advantages over shared virtual memory systems.

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.

TL;DR: This paper is a compendium of data base management operating systems folklore and focuses on particular issues unique to the transaction management component especially locking and recovery.
