Countermeasures against consistency anomalies in distributed integrated databases with relaxed ACID properties

Abstract

In central databases the consistency of data is normally implemented by using the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability) properties of a DBMS (Data Base Management System). This is not possible if distributed and/or mobile databases are involved and the availability of data also has to be optimized. Therefore, we will in this paper use so called relaxed ACID properties across different locations.
