Concurrent Data Sharing Problems in Multiple User Computer Systems

Abstract : The report summarizes work performed to date under the FY'71 Project 6710 Multi-User Data Management System task. It reviews major problems associated with the sharing of data among multiple concurrent users, and tentatively suggests promising strategies to cope with them. It discusses the importance of solving, ameliorating, or avoiding such problems to the effective development of Air Force systems of this kind. It also outlines desirable future work under this task.
