Abstract
This paper presents a new concurrency control scheme, Dynamic multi-gr anularity locking (DMGL), for coordinating cooperative activities. Unl ike the previous approaches, it can be tuned to different requirements of various groupwork environments. DMGL adopts multi-granularity lock s to minimize locking overhead, but those locks can be dynamically rec onfigured to access conflicts in order to support a high degree of con currency.
