Since the introduction of Bitcoin---the first widespread application driven by blockchains---
the interest in the design of blockchain-based applications has increased tremendously. At …

A blockchain is an append-only linked-list of blocks, which is maintained at each
participating node. Each block records a set of transactions and their associated metadata …

There is currently an active debate on which RDMA primitive (ie, one-sided or two-sided) is
optimal for distributed transactions. Such a debate has led to a number of optimizations …

© 2020, VLDB Endowment. Deterministic databases are able to efficiently run transactions
across different replicas without coordination. However, existing state-of-the-art deterministic …

Memory disaggregation (MD) allows for scalable and elastic data center design by
separating compute (CPU) from memory. With MD, compute and memory are no longer …

Transactions can simplify distributed applications by hiding data distribution, concurrency,
and failures from the application developer. Ideally the developer would see the abstraction …

This paper presents yet another concurrency control analysis platform, CCBench. CCBench
supports seven protocols (Silo, TicToc, MOCC, Cicada, SI, SI with latch-free SSN, 2PL) and …

The recent surge in federated data management applications has brought forth concerns
about the security of underlying data and the consistency of replicas in the presence of …

In advanced real-time distributed computing databases, the main performance criterion is to
reduce the 'deadline miss' by the transactions; of course, consistency constraints also need …

The continued emergence of large social network applications has introduced a scale of
data and query volume that challenges the limits of existing data stores. However, few …
