Abstract

In object oriented distributed systems (OODS), the objects are viewed as resources. Concurrency control techniques are usually applied on the database tier. This has the limitations of lack of support of legacy files and requirement of separate concurrency control mechanisms for each database model. Hence concurrency control on the objects at server tier is explored. To implement concurrency control on the objects participating in a system, the impact of method types, properties and class relationships namely inheritance, association and aggregation are to be analyzed. In this paper, the types and properties of classes and attributes are analysed. The semantics of the class relationships are analysed to ascertain their lock modes, granule sizes for defining concurrency control in OODS. It is also intended to propose compatibility matrix among all these object relationships.
