Description
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.
Audience:
Database designers and programmers.
