    Analysis of concurrency control protocols for real-time database systems
    (Elsevier, 1998) Ulusoy, Özgür
    This paper provides an approximate analytic solution method for evaluating the performance of concurrency control protocols developed for real-time database systems (RTDBSs). Transactions processed in a RTDBS are associated with timing constraints typically in the form of deadlines. The primary consideration in developing a RTDBS concurrency control protocol is the fact that satisfaction of the timing constraints of transactions is as important as maintaining the consistency of the underlying database. The proposed solution method provides the evaluation of the performance of concurrency control protocols in terms of the satisfaction rate of timing constraints. As a case study, a RTDBS concurrency control protocol, called High Priority, is analyzed using the proposed method. The accuracy of the performance results obtained is ascertained via simulation. The solution method is also used to investigate the real-time performance benefits of the High Priority over the ordinary Two-Phase Locking.

    On approximation sums by maximums and vice versa
    (SAGE, 1994) Özaktaş, Haldun M.
    We discuss the approximation max (x, y) ≈x+y for x, y >0, which is found to be useful in obtaining simple and transparent approximate solutions and interpretations for analytically complicated problems.
