The Time Warp mechanism for database concurrency control
David R. Jefferson, A. Motro · 1986
In this paper we introduce the Time Warp mechanism as a new method for concurrency control in distributed database systems. Its major distinguishing features are first, a unification of transactions and data as two forms of the more general notion of object, and second, the use of object rollback as the fundamental tool for synchronization instead of blocking or abortion.
