Abstract

As a continuation of the POLYPHEME study, the Cii-Honeywell Bull research center has launched a project on co-operating transactional systems with particular attention paid to distributed concurrency control and commitment. Following the presentation of the application-driven approach being taken, the distributed concurrency control algorithm is described as an improvement of the proposal made by Rosenkrantz, Stearns and Lewis. Salient technical features such as deadlock prevention, wrong aborts, parallel execution, and relation between concurrency control and commitment are detailed. Then the main choices are justified, and the rejected techniques criticized.
