A semantic approach to correctness of concurrent transaction executions
Summary: Introduces 'independence', a semantic correctness notion capturing integrity-constraint violations, inconsistent outputs, and racing. Proves linear constraints plus linear-action semantics admit only serializable schedules; with restricted actions, identifies a verifiable weakly-serializable (order-2) class.
