About this Item

Print on Demand. This book offers an algorithm called Hierarchical Timestamping for database concurrency control. Concurrency control is a fundamental computer science challenge involving balancing the need for secure data management with efficient data processing. The author places the algorithm within the historical evolution of concurrency control, emphasizing the limitations of established approaches. The author positions the Hierarchical Timestamping algorithm as an improvement over the conventional multi-version timestamping algorithm, particularly when a database can be structured hierarchically. The book delves into the details of how the algorithm operates, including mathematical proofs for its effectiveness and applications in real-world scenarios. The book concludes by highlighting how the Hierarchical Timestamping algorithm can enhance the performance of database systems, particularly in situations where data access patterns exhibit hierarchical characteristics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
