TLDR
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.Abstract:
In database systems, users access shared data under the assumption that the data satisfies certain consistency constraints. This paper defines the concepts of transaction, consistency and schedule and shows that consistency requires that a transaction cannot request new locks after releasing a lock. Then it is argued that a transaction needs to lock a logical rather than a physical subset of the database. These subsets may be specified by predicates. An implementation of predicate locks which satisfies the consistency condition is suggested.read more

TL;DR: It is argued that Ensemble represents a plausible first step toward a Session-layer protocol for “multi-endpoint connections”, a neglected area of communication protocol development.

A unifying model for consistent distributed software development environments
TL;DR: A new model which unifies all three concepts in a distributed SDE, version control, configuration control and transactions, is presented and the application of the model to the Cosmos Distributed SDE is discussed.

A relational model of data for large shared data banks
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on n-ary relations, a normal form for data base relations, and the concept of a universal data sublanguage are introduced, and certain operations on relations are discussed and applied to the problems of redundancy and consistency in the user's model.

Recovery scenario for a DB/DC system
TL;DR: Previously developed sphere-of-control (SOC) concepts are used to develop a scenario for post-process recovery where an information structure provides the recovery boundary around the effects of the usage of a resource.
