Transaction Processing Systems (Prentice Hall Advances in Computer Science Series)

This book describes the principles and practice of centralized and distributed transaction processing systems as well as their design and related sofware implementation issues. It covers the latest developments in this fast-moving area, including distributed transaction processing systems, and details commercially available systems and emrging systems such as client server architectures. The book employs a non-mathematical and practical approach to the subject, yet at the same time provides readers with an analysis of the topics described.
