Towards a Unified Theory of Concurrency Control and Recovery
Summary: Unifies concurrency control and recovery by defining (prefix-)reducibility and (prefix-)expanded serializability, relating them to and relaxing classical serializability+strictness. Offers a constructive, serialization-graph-based correctness test and handles semantically rich ADT actions, admitting strictly more schedules than serializable+strict.
