Concurrency In Database Systems - A Simulation Study

Summary: Simulation model of concurrent updates in a database system to quantify deadlock frequency, concurrency, and user-wait times across synchronization methods. Assesses practical deadlock-rollback criteria and optimal checkpoint counts for performance tuning. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
