ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for controlling concurrent process access of infrastructures. Apparatus and method responds to a process request by selectively locking ones of the nodes and enables other processes to concurrently lock ancestral and child nodes located in the tree structure of the locked node independent of the lock applied to the selectively locked node thereby enabling concurrently running processes to write into and read information from the locked nodes.
