Managingtransactionswith real-timerequirements and disk residentdata presentsmany new problems.In thispaperweaddressseveral:How canwe scheduletransactionswith deadlines?How do thereal-timeconstraints affect concurrencycontrol? How doesthe schedulingof IO requestsaffect the timelinessof transactions?How should exclusive and sharedlocking be handled?We describea new group of algorithmsfor schedulingrealtime transactionswhich produce serializable schedules. We present a model for scheduling transactionswith deadlinesonasingleprocessordiskresidentdatabasesystem, and evaluate the scheduling algorithms through detailedsimulation.
