We present Lilac-TM, the first locality-aware Distributed Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) implementation. Lilac-TM is a fully decentralized lease-based replicated DSTM. It employs a novel self-optimizing lease circulation scheme based on the idea of dynamically determining whether to migrate transactions to the nodes that own the leases required for their validation, or to demand the acqui...

Purpose Lease contracts at the time of sale influence buyers' expectations about future returns farmland ownership and may thus contribute to price dispersion. This paper investigates conjecture that existing land lease sellers' costs being information deficient their bargaining position, expectation formation returns, ultimately price.
