Maximal Concurrency By Locking
Summary: Studies whether locking can exactly characterize all conflict-serializable schedules (maximal concurrency by locking); shows two-transaction case is poly-time but the general decision problem is NP-complete. When possible builds an efficient locking policy and gives a simple sufficient test to detect maximal-concurrency-by-locking. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
