Concurrent Updates and Retrieval in Distributed Database Systems

摘要

At its inception, this project was designed to represent a comprehensive program of research in the field of distributed database management. The problems to be dealt with were to include the three major topics in distributed database: query processing, concurrency control and crash recovery. In addition, the problem of interconnecting heterogeneous databases was also proposed. To a substantial extent, major progress has been achieved in all these areas. In this report a summary of the principal findings is presented.
