Autonomous transaction execution with epsilon serializability

The authors study the feasibility of autonomous transaction execution in systems with asynchronous transaction processing based on epsilon serializability (ESR). The abstract correctness criteria defined by ESR are implemented by techniques such as asynchronous divergence control and asynchronous consistency restoration. Concrete application examples in a distributed environment, such as banking, illustrate the advantages of using ESR to support execution autonomy. The ability for asynchronous transaction processing also supports efficient concurrent transaction and query processing.<
