Time-Constrained Transaction Management: Real-Time Constraints in Database Transaction Systems

About this title: Transaction processing is an established technique for the concurrent and fault-tolerant access of persistent data. While this technique has been successful in standard database systems, factors such as time-critical applications, emerging technologies, and a re-examination of existing systems suggest that the performance, functionality and applicability of transactions may be substantially enhanced if temporal considerations are taken into account. That is, transactions should not only execute in a legal' (i.e. logically correct) manner, but they should meet certain constraints with regard ... read more
