Abstract

This paper describes some results of a recent project to develop a theory for reasoning about atomic transactions. This theory allows careful statement of the correctness conditions to be satisfied by transaction-processing algorithms, as well as clear and concise description of such algorithms. It also serves as a framework for rigorous correctness proofs.
