Atomic Actions in Concurrent Systems (fault-Tolerance, Control)

Abstract

dc:description

The concept of an indivisible sequence of actions has been in use to design concurrent systems. An atomic action is an activity, possibly consisting of many steps performed by many processors, that appears primitive and indivisible to any activity outside the atomic action. The aim of the thesis is to show that atomicity is fundamental to programming concurrent systems and to demonstrate that many different concurrency control schemes which have appeared in many different contexts have actually the same goal: to provide a mechanism that ensures atomicity of system activities.
