Machinations

The June 2014 edition of the Distributed Computing Column in SIGACT News is devoted to a review article on Transactional Memory by Gokarna Sharma and Costas Busch. An archive of the column is available online at:

https://parasol.tamu.edu/~welch/sigactNews/

Also, if you, like me, are having difficulty obtaining the full version of the March 2014 column, which reviewed a Dagstuhl seminar on Consistency in Distributed Systems by Bettina Kemme, G. Ramalingam, Andre Schiper, and Marc Shapiro, you can get it at the archive.

Enjoy!
