Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics
In computer science, Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics, or ARIES, is a recovery algorithm designed to work with a no-force, steal database approach; it is used by IBM Db2, Microsoft SQL Server and many other database systems. IBM Fellow Chandrasekaran Mohan is the primary inventor of the ARIES family of algorithms.
