Tolerating Bounded Inconsistency for Increasing Concurrency in Database Systems
Summary: Proposes "serializability with bounded inconsistency": a correctness model and concurrency-control protocol where users dynamically set a maximum inconsistency tolerance to trade exactness for higher concurrency. Reduces to strict 2PL at zero tolerance and leverages type-specific semantics for approximate-data workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
