The traditional transaction model, with the atomicity, consistency,
isolation and durability properties, was originally developed for data
processing applications. To meet the new requirements and challenges
for the next-generation information systems, researchers have
continued to refine and generalize the traditional model in several
directions. This book assembles an important collection of papers
authored by world-renowned thinkers, designers and implementors of
database systems, to describe developments that lie at the heart of
current research in advanced transaction processing areas.
This book will provide researchers and students the most complete
survey available in the area of advanced transaction models and
architectures. Because it is broad in scope, this book could serve as
a text book in not only a specialized course at the graduate level but
an introductory course on advanced transaction systems as well. The
book concludes with a complete bibliography which provides an
invaluable guide for further reading.
