Description: This course covers transaction processing systems. Specific topics include serializability theory, concurrency control, recovery, distributed commit protocols, replication, parallelism, distribution design, and federated and multi-databases. TP systems is fundamentally a systems course in which students will work alone (416) or in teams (316) to implement a state of the art transaction processing subsystem.
