Recent developments in blockchain technology have inspired innovative new designs in
resilient distributed and database systems. At their core, these blockchain applications …

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 …

The problem of distributed consensus has played a major role in the development of
distributed data management systems. This includes the development of distributed atomic …

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 …

High-performance transaction processing needs to schedule numerous requests from the
network. However, such request scheduling comes with costs of complex information …

Since the inception of Bitcoin, the distributed systems community has shown interest in the
design of efficient blockchain systems. However, initial blockchain applications (like Bitcoin) …

MVCC-based snapshot isolation promises that read queries can proceed without interfering
with concurrent writes. However, as we show experimentally, in existing implementations a …

Pure in-memory database systems offer outstanding performance but degrade heavily if the
working set does not fit into DRAM, which is problematic in view of declining main memory …

Online-transaction-processing (OLTP) applications require the underlying storage system to
guarantee consistency and serializability for distributed transactions involving large …

We introduce Transaction Triaging, a set of techniques that manipulate streams of
transaction requests and responses while they travel to and from a database server …
