Concurrency Control Mechanisms and the Serializability of Concurrent Tree Algorithms
Summary: Broadens concurrency control from read/write to semantic ADT operations, classifying mechanisms by operation semantics and proposing a user‑view notion of serializability. Demonstrates many concurrent tree algorithms (search trees, Kung‑Lehman/Lehman‑Yao B‑tree variants) are serializable under this view and maps them to compatible locking and other control techniques.
