| 2022 | Ensuring Consistent Transactions in a Web Service Environment With Prediction-Based Performance MetricsabstractIn this article, we propose the transaction scheduling for web service database transactions. Our solution ensures consistency while preserving efficiency. We propose a prediction-based metric that promotes transactions with reliable reputations based on the transactions performance metrics. Performance metrics are based on the transactions likelihood to commit and their execution time. We propose a customized lock management solution to guarantee execution consistency in concurrent web service environments. We formally prove that our solution guarantees consistent execution history of concurrent web transactions and increases concurrency and performance over traditional locking methods. We developed a simulation using a multi-threaded approach. We generated sample workloads of simulated concurrent transactions over seven tests. Our results show that the solution works comparatively with traditional locking and no-locking solutions with the added benefit of ensured consistency in some cases and deadlock avoidance in others.
