Supporting multiple isolation levels in replicated environments
Replication is used by databases to implement reliability and provide scalability. However,
achieving transparent replication is not an easy task. A replicated database is transparent if it can
seamlessly replace a standard stand-alone database without requiring any changes to the
components of the system. Database replication transparency can be achieved if: (a) replication
protocols remain hidden for all other components of the system; and (b) the functionality of a
stand-alone database is provided.
The ability to simultaneously execute transactions under different isolation levels is a functionality
offered by all stand-alone databases but not by their replicated counterparts. Allowing different
isolation levels may improve overall system performance. For example, the TPC-C benchmark
specification tolerates execution of some transactions at weaker isolation levels in order to
increase throughput of committed transactions. In this paper, we show how replication protocols
can be extended to enable transactions to be executed under different isolation levels.

Multilevel adaptive security system
Recent trends show increased demand for content-rich media such as images, videos and text in ad-hoc communication. Since such content often tends to be private, sensitive, or paid for, there exists a requirement for securing such information over resource constrained ad hoc networks. In this work, traditional data security mechanisms, existing ad hoc secure routing protocols and multilevel security are first reviewed. Then a new system, called the Multilevel Adaptive Security System, which incorporates the multilevel security concept at both the application layer and the network layer, is proposed to provide adaptive security services for data and routing processes.
MLASS is composed of two subsystems: Content-Based Multi-level Data Security (CB-MLDS) for content-rich data protection and Multi-Level On-demand Secure Mobile Ad hoc Routing (MOSAR) for secure route selection. The structure of each sub-system is explained in detail; experiments for each sub-system were conducted and the performance was analyzed. It is shown that MLASS is a practical security solution that is flexible enough to adapt to a range of security requirements and applies appropriate level of security services to data and its distribution over ad hoc networks. MLASS provides a balance between security, performance and resource

Flexible Transaction Dependencies in Database Systems
Numerous extended transaction models have been proposed in the literature to overcome the limitations of the traditional transaction model for advanced applications characterized by their long durations, cooperation between activities and access to multiple databases (like CAD/CAM and office automation). However, most of these extended models have been proposed with specific applications in mind and almost always fail to support applications with slightly different requirements.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44828/1/10619_2004_Article_270346.pd
The implementation and use of Ada on distributed systems with high reliability requirements
The general inadequacy of Ada for programming systems that must survive processor loss was shown. A solution to the problem was proposed in which there are no syntatic changes to Ada. The approach was evaluated using a full-scale, realistic application. The application used was the Advanced Transport Operating System (ATOPS), an experimental computer control system developed for a modified Boeing 737 aircraft. The ATOPS system is a full authority, real-time avionics system providing a large variety of advanced features. Methods of building fault tolerance into concurrent systems were explored. A set of criteria by which the proposed method will be judged was examined. Extensive interaction with personnel from Computer Sciences Corporation and NASA Langley occurred to determine the requirements of the ATOPS software. Backward error recovery in concurrent systems was assessed

The implementation and use of Ada on distributed systems with high reliability requirements
A preliminary analysis of the Ada implementation of the Advanced Transport Operating System (ATOPS), an experimental computer control system developed at NASA Langley for a modified Boeing 737 aircraft, is presented. The criteria that was determined for the evaluation of this approach is described. A preliminary version of the requirements for the ATOPS is contained. This requirements specification is not a formal document, but rather a description of certain aspects of the ATOPS system at a level of detail that best suits the needs of the research. The survey of backward error recovery techniques is also presented
