Abstract
Two components of transaction management in multidatabase systems are concurrency control and reliability. Multidatabase systems constructed from autonomous independent database managers are an alternative to homogeneous integrated distributed database systems. Multidatabase transaction management has long been of interest, but general solutions have only recently been forthcoming. Early approaches were either read-only or permitted updates to only one of the underlying databases at a time, required modification to the underlying database systems, or suggested that the DBMS scheduler be replaced with another which controlled transactions from "above". The most pessimistic scenario is assumed in this research where the individual database managers of the multidatabase system are totally autonomous. The work contributes first by demonstrating the importance of and provide a formal model for multidatabase systems. The formalism is capable of capturing the issues related to both concurrenc...
