Concurrency Control of Nested Transactions Accessing B-Trees
Summary: Introduces a concurrency control algorithm for nested transactions on B-trees that integrates B-link tree traversal with resilient two-phase locking to support concurrent structural modifications. Proves correctness via I/O automata and a novel “strongly-serially correct” schedule criterion. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
