ARIES/NT: A Recovery Method Based on Write-Ahead Logging for Nested Transactions

Summary: ARIES/NT extends ARIES write-ahead logging to a general nested-transaction model. It supports partial subtransaction rollbacks, rich operation logging, lock inheritance in both directions, concurrent ancestor/descendant execution, and distributed architectures.
