Generalized Snapshot Isolation and a Prefix-Consistent Implementation

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the ``latest'' snapshot of the databas ...

The Database State Machine Approach

Rachid Guerraoui, André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

Database replication protocols have historically been built on top of distributed database systems, and have consequently been designed and implemented using distributed transactional mechanisms, such as atomic commitment. We present the Database State Mac ...

Conflict-Aware Scheduling for Dynamic Content Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializa ...

Porting OMTTs to CORBA

Jörg Kienzle

The Common Object Request Broker Architecture standardizes a platform- and programming-language-independent distributed object com-puting environment. It also provides a standard for several distributed servic-es. The Object Transaction Service provides an ...

Group communications and database replication

Matthias Wiesmann

Databases are an important part of today's IT infrastructure: both companies and state institutions rely on database systems to store most of their important data. As we are more and more dependent on database systems, securing this key facility is now a p ...

Using Optimistic Atomic Broadcast in Transaction Processing Systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...

Database Replication Techniques: a three parameter classification

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Data replication is an increasingly important topic as databases are more and more deployed over clusters of workstations. One of the challenges in database replication is to introduce replication without severely affecting performance. Because of this dif ...

Understanding replication in databases and distributed systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspects: model, assumptions, mechanisms, guarantees provided, and implementation. ...

Implementing e-Transactions with Asynchronous Replication

Rachid Guerraoui

An e-Transaction is one that executes exactly-once despite failures. This paper describes a distributed protocol that implements the abstraction of e-Transactionsin three-tier architectures. Three-tier architectures are typically Internet-oriented architec ...
