Efficient Concurrency Control for Broadcast Environments

Summary: Proposes update consistency, a weaker correctness criterion enabling mutually consistent reads without server locks in broadcast environments. Latency gains over serializability, off-the-air reads and currency while preserving mutual consistency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
