TL;DR: This work is interested in those database systems in which concurrency control is performed at the system level and is invisible to individual uS'ers.
Abstract: The concurrency control is that portion of a database system that is concerned with deciding what actions should be taken in response to requests by the individual application programs to read and write into the database. We are interested in those database systems in which concurrency control is performed at the system level and is invisible to individual uS'ers. Individual application programs do not lock and unlock database entities they access, and in fact each application program is written as if it were the only program running on the system.

TL;DR: Examples of how distributed processing techniques are being used are provided, with comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the distribution of processing and databases in the current state-of-the-art.
Abstract: Distributed information systems represent an increasingly important trend to computer users. Distributed processing is a technique for implementing a single logical set of processing functions across a number of physical devices, so that each performs some part of the total processing required. Distributed processing is often accompanied by the formation of a distributed database. A distributed database exists when the data elements stored at multiple locations are interrelated, or if a process (program execution) at one location requires access to data stored at another location. Examples of how these techniques are being used are provided, with comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the distribution of processing and databases in the current state-of-the-art.
