Transaction Models for Advanced Database Applications

Acknowledgements InterBase These tutorial notes are based on the March issue of the IEEE Data Engineering with the same title and edited by the same author. It is also based on an upcoming book with the same title due to come out later this year and published by Morgan Kauffmann. Thanks are due to Dr. Won Kim of UniSQL for enticing me to organize the special issue, which leads to the book, which in turn lead to this tutorial. Thanks are due to the authors of all those great papers covered herein. Thanks are to my good friend Dr. Amit Sheth, Bellcore, for inviting me to present this tutorial. I would also like to thank all members of the InterBase project. Finally, very special thanks go to Yungho Leu, Purdue, for his help in the preparation of these notes. A transaction is a collection of actions that make consistent transformations of system states. Formally, it is a partial order over the operations that are part of the transactions.
