Liana: A framework that utilizes causality to schedule contention management across networked systems short paper

Abstract

In this paper we tackle the problem of improving overall throughput for shared data access across networked systems. We are concerned with those systems that must maintain the causal ordering of events across participating nodes in a network. By utilising the causality inherent within such systems we create a scheduler that can inform contention management schemes in such a way as to reduce the rollback associated to conflicting access of shared data. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
