Abstract
We examine the problem of concurrency control when the database management system supports multiple versions of the data. We characterize the limit of the parallelism achievable by the multiversion approach and demonstrate the resulting space-parallelism trade-off.

Semantics-based concurrency control: beyond commutativity
The concurrency of transactions executing on atomic data types can be enhanced through the use of semantic information about operations defined on these types. Hitherto, commutativity of operations has been exploited to provide enchanced concurrency ...
On concurrency control by multiple versions

Rethinking serializable multiversion concurrency control
Multi-versioned database systems have the potential to significantly increase the amount of concurrency in transaction processing because they can avoid read-write conflicts. Unfortunately, the increase in concurrency usually comes at the cost of ...
