Concurrency control in real-time object-oriented systems: the affected set priority ceiling protocols

This paper presents the affected set priority ceiling protocols (ASPCP) for concurrency control in real-time object-oriented systems. These protocols are based on a combination of semantic locking and priority ceiling techniques. This paper shows that the ASPCP protocols provide higher potential concurrency for object-oriented systems than existing priority ceiling protocols, while still bounding priority inversion and preventing deadlock.
