Correctness and Parallelism in Composite Systems
Summary: Proposes stack conflict consistency, a correctness model for layered composite transactional systems that lifts prior assumptions restricting concurrency. Pinpoints conditions allowing safe intra-transaction and cross-transaction parallelism, enabling practical higher concurrency across subsystems. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
