In A Critique of Snapshot Isolation, published in EuroSys 2012, they present write-snapshot isolation, a simple but clever approach to making snapshot isolation serializable. This work was published a few years after Michael Cahill’s original work on Serializable Snapshot Isolation (TODS 2009), and around a similar time as the work of Dan Ports on implementing serializable snapshot isolation (VLDB 2012), which applied Cahill’s ideas in PostgreSQL.
