A comparative study of transaction management services in multidatabase heterogeneous systems

Multidatabases are being actively researched as a relatively new area in which many aspects are not yet fully understood. This area of transaction management in multidatabase systems still has many unresolved problems. The problem areas which this dissertation addresses are classification of multidatabase systems, global concurrency control, correctness criterion in a multidatabase environment, global deadlock detection, atomic commitment and crash recovery. A core group of research addressing these problems was identified and studied. The dissertation contributes to the multidatabase transaction management topic by introducing an alternative classification method for such multiple database systems; assessing existing research into
transaction management schemes and based on this assessment, proposes a transaction
processing model founded on the optimal properties of transaction management identified during
the course of this research. / Computing / M. Sc. (Computer Science)
