About this Item

Offers a look at the role of transactional technology in economic and scientific endeavors. This book investigates critical issues faced by practitioners, presenting techniques for controlling concurrent access by multiple clients, recovering from system failures, and coordinating distributed transactions. 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. It 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. It 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. It contains information essential to developers of Web-based e-Commerce functionality - and a wide range of more "traditional" applications. It details the algorithms underlying core transaction processing functionality. Zu diesem Buch kann ich nur eins sagen: Genial, absolutes Muss für jeden, der Tiefer in diesen Bereich einsteigen will. Jeder Student kennt das Problem, dass man in verschiedenen Bereichen des Studiums auch Fachliteratur angewiesen ist. Dabei gibt es in vielen Fällen zwei Extremfälle: - die Bücher sind zu Allgemein gehalten, sodaß bei tiefergehenden Fragen nicht geklärt werden und weitere Literatur benötigt wird - die Bücher sind zu Abstrakt gehalten, sodaß ein Einstieg in die Materie nicht immer ohne weiteres möglich ist. Das hier beschriebene Buch schafft es sehr gut einen Mittelweg zu finden, sodaß Einstieger gut in die Materie einsteigen können ohne aber die Leser zu verlieren, die sich schon ein wenig in der Materie auskennen. Nach der Empfehlung durch unseren Professor war ich im ersten Moment durch den hohen Preis abgeschreckt, sodaß ich mir dieses Buch zuerst in unserer Bib ausgeliehen habe. Schon nach den ersten Seiten war mir klar, dass es sich bei diesem Buch um ein sehr gutes Fachbuch handelt. Die einzelnen Aspekte von Transaktionen werden logisch erklärt und einzelne Abhängigkeiten erläutert. Im weiteren Verlauf des Buches bauen die Folgekapitel jeweils konsequent auf den vorhergehenden Kapiteln auf. Dieses Fachbuch geht dabei sehr umfassend auf die einzelnen Aspekte von Transaktionen und Datenbanken ein. Das beschriebene Buch war mir im Rahmen des Studiums eine sehr große Hilfe und dient mir heute immer noch als Nachschlage Werk. Ich kann dieses Buch jedem uneingeschränkt empfehlen, der sich in diesem Bereich einlesen will oder seine Kenntnisse vertiefen will. Author: 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.
