This document discusses concurrency control algorithms for distributed database systems. It describes distributed two-phase locking (2PL), wound-wait, basic timestamp ordering, and distributed optimistic concurrency control algorithms. For distributed 2PL, transactions lock data items in a growing phase and release locks in a shrinking phase. Wound-wait prevents deadlocks by aborting younger transactions that wait on older ones. Basic timestamp ordering orders transactions based on their timestamps to ensure serializability. The distributed optimistic approach allows transactions to read and write freely until commit, when certification checks for conflicts. Maintaining consistency across distributed copies is important for concurrency control algorithms.
