Design and Implementation of a Component-based Concurrency Control Mechanism for a Distributed Database
Currently, component-based systems offer substantial benefits due to their ability to divide responsibilities. Some of the main benefits of developing components as independent parts of a system are: reduced costs, reduced implementation effort and the addition or replacement of modular functions. Moreover, since there is no well-defined architecture for distributed database systems, commercial companies apply the concept of distribution differently. One option for getting the functionality of a Distributed Database Management System is extending a monolithic Database Management System of fragmented way, i.e. adding or replacing functions in a modular form. In this paper, we design and develop a concurrency control component in order to synchronize access to data in a distributed database and describe the advantages of implementing it as an extension of a monolithic Database Management System. The component is developed with Open Source tools because these elements allow developers to further improve these elements with relative ease.
