Managing transactions on grid-neighbour replication in distributed systems

Managing transactions is very important in distributed databases in order to preserve data consistency and reliability of the systems. This paper presents a new design to manage transactions on neighbour replication in a distributed database system. We address how to build a reliable system for managing transactions on a neighbour replication grid (NRG) in terms to preserve the data consistency and support fault-tolerance. We first recall the model and technique of NRG that impose neighbours binary vote assignment to its logical grid structure on data copies. We extend our work in managing transactions to normal and failure cases. Finally, the implementation of the system is presented.
