Abstract
The integration of the two hierarchical concepts ‘Multi-Level Synchronization’ and ’Nested Transactions’ is discussed in the context of so-called ’Advanced Information Systems’. Multi-Level Synchronization means, that, in order to increase concurrency, the synchronization mechanisms are allocated to multiple levels of abstraction. Nested Transactions are transactions that can be structured in the same modular way as the application system on which they are executed. An Advanced Information System is a modular, multifunctional system that has been constructed using various types of application systems as building blocks. The internal structure of the application systems will be modelled by means of shared abstract data types.
Zusammenfassung
Die Integration der beiden hierarchischen Konzepte ‘Synchronisation auf mehreren Ebenen’ und ’Genestete Transaktionen’ wird diskutiert im Rahmen von sogenannten ’Fortgeschrittenen Informationssystemen’. Synchronization auf mehreren Ebenen bedeutet, daß, um die Parallelität zu erhöhen, Synchronisationsmechanismen mehreren Abstraktionsebenen zugeordnet werden. Genestete Transaktionen sind Transaktionen, die genauso modular strukturiert werden können wie die Anwendungssysteme, auf denen sie ausgeführt werden. Ein fortgeschrittenes Informationssystem ist ein modulares, multifunktionales System, das verschiedene Typen von Anwendungssystemen als Bausteine beinhaltet. Die innere Struktur von Anwendungssystemen wird mit Hilfe abstrakter Datentypen mit interner Synchronisation modelliert.
