dc.description.abstract	Numerous concurrency control methods have been proposed for distributed databases. Various crz·teria are used to compare these methods. The comparisons range from qualitative overviews through quantitative analyses to theoretical studies. A quantitative study based on an abstract model of concurrency control methods is presented, where the overheads of the methods are analytically compared using a set of evaluation parameters. After an overview of the model's development, lt is presented Zn detail. As an example it is applied to two-phase locking as can be used in a fully-redundant distributed environment. It is concluded that although the model h,as shortcomings, it does provide a framework according to whfrh distributed database concurrency controls can be comp11red.	en
