I am writing to request any sources of information on distributed database commitment protocols. I am currently a graduate student and am doing some research in this area. I am specifically interested in very recent articles on the subject. I have been searching for quite some time via the normal library systems but have found there to be a void of information in this area. If anyone has any suggestions on titles and sources for current research topics in this field please respond. Thanks, Adan K. Pope att!ihlpb!akpope

If anyone has any suggestions on titles >and sources for current research topics in this field please respond. As a starting point, may I suggest our recent book Principles of Distributed Database Systems by M.T. Ozsu and P. Valduriez, Prentice-Hall, 1991. Our discussion may not cover everything that you want to know about this issue, but at least it would be a starting point and you can then follow the bibliography for more details. Note: Normally, I would have responded with an email to this posting, but there were a couple of similar requests in the last little while, most of which I responded by email. I thought that a public posting would make it easier for others who might be looking for similar info. =+Tamer Ozsu -- M.
