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

Cooperative Distributed Algorithms for Dynamic Cycle Prevention
Shmuel Katz,O. Shmueli +1 more
TL;DR: Parallel distributed algorithms are presented for adding and deleting edges in a directed graph without creating a cycle to solve problems in distributed systems such as preventing deadlock or ordering priorities.

Functional development of database applications
TL;DR: A highly modular and uniformly functional development methodology for database applications is introduced and an event-oriented view of the database is adopted recording the observed events directly and treating the state of the environment as derived data.

Performance comparison of distributed deadlock detection algorithms
TL;DR: The author examines and reports the magnitude by which these algorithms provide an increase in the throughput, and the number of blocked, restarted transactions, in the distributed database environment.

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.
