Feedback control of concurrency. Assumes that the relationship between level of concurrency and throughput is unimodal. Proposes two control mechanisms. Incremental steps is a proportional control mechanism. Parabolic approximation mechanism fits recent concurrency/throughput measurements to a parabola and uses the peak of the parabola to choose a target concurrency level. Considers the use of admission control and transaction aborts to achieve the target level of concurrency.
