Making Consistency Protocols Serializable

Summary: Tutorial synthesizing recent work that transforms weak isolation and consistency protocols into serializable behavior to recover application-integrity guarantees without full-blown serializable concurrency control. Covers practical mechanisms (certification, read validation, dependency tracking) and formal reasoning methods. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
