Why might B-tree concurrency control still be interesting? For two reasons: (i) currently exploited "real world" approaches are complicated; (ii) simpler proposals are n...
In a recent study, we have shown that in real-time database systems that discard late transactions, optimistic concurrency control outperforms locking. Although the optimistic alg...
In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic relational data model as the basis for developing multi-agent probabilistic reasoning systems. Since our model subsumes the traditional...
Abstract. Database systems have been vital for all forms of data processing for a long time. In recent years, the amount of processed data has been growing dramatically, even in sm...
Asynchronous method calls have been proposed to better integrate object orientation with distribution. In the Creol language, asynchronous method calls are combined with so-called...
