ABSTRACT
Replicated data management systems adopt the 1-copy serializability criteria
for processing transactions. In order to achieve this goal, many approaches
rely on obtaining votes from other sites for processing update requests. In
the proposed approach, a technique for generation of precedence graphs for
each transaction execution is analyzed. The transaction data flow graph
approach is a fully distributed approach. The proposed technique, is free from
deadlocks, and avoids resubmission of transactions
