Serialization Graph Algorithms for Multiversion Concurrency Control

Summary: MVSGA: multiversion serialization-graph framework that strictly subsumes prior schedulers by using read‑from/position edges and enforcing acyclicity to accept larger schedule sets. Optimality (maximize incomparable node pairs) NP‑complete; heuristic offered. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
