Atomic Transactions In Concurrent and Distributed Systems
Atomic Transactions In Concurrent and Distributed Systems by Nancy A. Lynch, published by Elsevier Science in 1994, is a comprehensive exploration of transaction theory aimed at system developers. This 500-page book addresses the interface between users and databases that execute transactions, focusing on atomic transactions as a key abstraction for programming in concurrent and distributed environments.
Readers will find a detailed examination of important algorithms that maximize concurrency in transaction processing while maintaining data integrity. The book includes a well-developed case study on data processing, enhancing the understanding of transaction processing algorithms. It provides conceptual tools for designing new algorithms and adapting existing ones, making it relevant for those with backgrounds in both practical systems development and formal methods.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book develops a theory for transactions that provides practical solutions for system developers, focusing on the interface between the user and the database that executes transactions. Atomic transactions are a useful abstraction for programming concurrent and distributed data processing systems. Presents many important algorithms which provide maximum concurrency for transaction processing without sacrificing data integrity. The authors include a well-developed data processing case study to help readers understand transaction processing algorithms more clearly. The book offers conceptual tools for the design of new algorithms, and for devising variations on the familiar algorithms presented in the discussions. Whether your background is in the development of practical systems or formal methods, this book will offer you a new way to view distributed systems.
