TL;DR

This paper designs and implements a repllwted database that forms the basis for the N&s*gray, communication system and suggests that this technique generalizes to support dfstrlbuted database Lmple-mentatlons of other gray, Luork systems, including computer oonfeenclng and bulletin board systems.

ACM Transactions on Database SystemsOn optimistic methods for concurrency control

1,439 Citations1981H. T. Kung, John T. Robinson

In this paper, two families of nonlocking concurrency controls are presented and the methods used are "optimistic" in the sense that they rely mainly on transaction backup as a control mechanism, “hoping” that conflicts between transactions will not occur.
