Scheduling real-time transactions

Abstract

with real-time requirements presents many new problems. In this paper we address several: How can we schedule transactions with deadlines? How do the real-time constraints affect concurrency control? How should overloads be handled? How does the scheduling of 1/0 requests affect the timeliness of transactions? How should exclusive and shared locking be handled? We describe a new group of algorithms for scheduling real-time transactions that produce serializable schedules. We present a model for scheduling transactions with deadlines on a single processor disk resident database system, and evaluate the scheduling algorithms through detailed simulation experiments.
