About this Item

Data Base Management System Administration BWL "This book is a major advance for transaction processing. It gives an in-depth presentation of both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field, and is the first to present our new understanding of multi-level (object model) transaction processing. It's likely to become the standard reference in our field for many years to come." The definitive guide to transaction processing; the programmes e-commerce relies on! E-commerce is a growing and vital part of today's new economy. At the heart of e-commerce, not to mention traditional data-intensive business, is transaction processing. Transaction processing includes the highly complex processes that transfer money from one account to another, reserve seats on a flight, control stock trading and make adjustments to inventory - just to give a few examples. Written by two widely recognized authorities, Fundamentals of Transactional Information Systems approaches the subject from the bottom up, focusing on the low-level algorithms out of which various pieces of transaction processing are constructed. It also examines higher-level challenges such as concurrency (synchronizing data stored in multiple locations) and recovery (protection against system failures). This is indispensable knowledge for an ever growing audience of programmers and database architects working on business systems of all kinds. Authoritative coverage from star researchers - both big names in the transaction processing field A topic of increasing importance to developers working for both traditional and e-commerce companies I enjoyed reading the book very much - or should I say I devoured it! In comparison with other books in the field, e.g. the classical ones Bernstein, Hadzilacos and Goodman or Papadimitriou, it is much more detailed and provides a unified framework for the representaion. In contrast to other books, it not only covers the traditional page model, but also treats the socalled object model which is much more general and gives additional insight as a unifying platform for different sophisticated variants of traditional TP protocols. What I found especially insightful is the rigour treatment of the topic in terms of a presice mathemetical model, not only for the protocols concerned with isolation of transactions, but also for the recovery protocols. I strongly recommend reading this book when you want to get a deeper understanding of the field. But of course it is also a beautiful introduction for beginners in TP and database systems.

About this title

Synopsis

Transactional Information Systems is the long-awaited, comprehensive work from leading scientists in the transaction processing field. Weikum and Vossen begin with a broad look at the role of transactional technology in today's economic and scientific endeavors, then delve into critical issues faced by all practitioners, presenting today's most effective techniques for controlling concurrent access by multiple clients, recovering from system failures, and coordinating distributed transactions.The authors emphasize formal models that are easily applied across fields, that promise to remain valid as current technologies evolve, and that lend themselves to generalization and extension in the development of new classes of network-centric, functionally rich applications. This book's purpose and achievement is the presentation of the foundations of transactional systems as well as the practical aspects of the field what will help you meet today's challenges.

• Provides the most advanced coverage of the topic available anywhere--along with the database background required for you to make full use of this material.
• Explores transaction processing both generically as a broadly applicable set of information technology practices and specifically as a group of techniques for meeting the goals of your enterprise.
• Contains information essential to developers of Web-based e-Commerce functionality--and a wide range of more "traditional" applications.
• Details the algorithms underlying core transaction processing functionality.

About the Authors

Gerhard Weikum is Professor of Computer Science at University of the Saarland in Saarbruecken, Germany, where he leads a research group on database and information systems. His research has focused on parallel and distributed information systems, transaction processing and workflow management, database optimization and performance evaluation, multimedia data management, and intelligent search on Web data.

Gottfried Vossen is Professor of Computer Science and a Director of the Institür für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Universität Münster (Department of Information Systems, University of Muenster, Germany). His research in the area of object-based database systems has dealt primarily with models for data and objects, database languages, transaction processing, integration with scientific applications, XML and its applications, and workflow management.
