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

Operational stream processing : Towards scalable and consistent event-driven applications
TL;DR: It is strongly believed that streaming dataflows can have a central place in service-oriented architectures, taking over the execution of acid transactions, ensuring message delivery and processing, in order to perform scalable execution of services.
Understanding Non-Blocking Atomic Commitment
Ozalp Babaoglu,Sam Toueg +1 more
TL;DR: This paper shows how non-blocking atomic commitment protocols can be obtained through slight modifications of the well-known Two-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol, which is known to be blocking.

Multi-version concurrency control scheme for a database system
TL;DR: In this paper, a concurrency control scheme using multiple versions of data objects is presented, which allows increased concurrency, and the scheduler outputs only (multi-version) ww-serializable histories which preserve database consistency.

Divergence control algorithms for epsilon serializability
Kun-Lung Wu,P.S. Yu,Calton Pu +2 more
TL;DR: The paper presents divergence control methods for epsilon serializability (ESR) in centralized databases and presents a performance study using an optimistic divergence control algorithm as an example to show that a substantial improvement in concurrency can be achieved in ESR by allowing for a small amount of inconsistency.

Data replicas in distributed information services
TL;DR: This paper presents a method of updating replicas that need not be immediately synchronized with the source data or with each other, which is fail-safe, maximizes workstation autonomy, and is well suited to a network with slow, unreliable, and/or expensive communications links.

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.
