Formal Model of Correctness Without Serializability
Summary: Formalizes correctness without serializability, proposing alternative notions for long-running transactions in data-management systems. Demonstrates richer schedule classes than serializability and presents practical protocols for a transaction manager to permit correct non-serializable executions.
