According to Hien Nam Lee,A Transaction Processing for Supporting Mobile Collaborative
Works. The theme of this research is mobile transaction processing systems, focusing on versatile data
sharing mechanisms in volatile mobile environments. The theme of this thesis is transaction processing
in mobile and heterogeneous environments. The main focus of this thesis is on developing a mobile
transaction processing system that has the ability to support mobile data sharing and to cope with the
dynamic changes of mobile environments.

According to Lesley Wevers, A Persistent Functional Language for Concurrent Transaction

Processing. Where transaction processing systems could once only be found in the realm of large
organisations, the decreasing cost of computing resources and the advent of the internet have made
transaction processing systems an integral part of many small organisations and almost every website.
Typical examples of transaction processing systems include banking systems, ticket reservation systems
and inventory management systems. A transaction processing system often manages all the data of an
organisation. Data that has to be available instantly, sometimes to many thousands of simultaneous
users, while providing the illusion that each user has exclusive access to the data. In this thesis, we
investigate the use of functional programming languages for the construction of transaction processing
systems. It has already been known for some time that functional languages provide an interesting basis
for the implementation, querying and manipulation of databases [26, 28, 38], which are an essential
part of a transaction processing system.

According to Ippokratis Pandis, Scalable Transaction Processing through Data-oriented

Execution. Data processing and the dissemination of information, enabled and backed by data
management technologies, are changing the world we live in. Consider the recent uprisings in the Arab
world, which were greatly influenced by the social websites Facebook and Twitter. One of the most
challenging database workloads is transaction processing. The main characteristic of this type of
workload is that it consists of a multitude of concurrent requests which typically touch only a small
portion of a multi-gigabyte database in a largely unpredictable way. The concurrent requests need to
complete consistently and in isolation from any other, while the changes made need to be durable.
Transaction processing systems need to provide both high throughput and low response times.
Unfortunately, the transaction processing model has remained largely the same for the past three
decades, and that imposes some inherent scalability difficulties
