In this paper, we present a study on the concurrency control and recovery algorithms in nested transaction environment. We have reviewed the work done in the area of nested transaction modelling, its applications in object-oriented and mobile databases, and in workflow models. We have contrasted various nested transaction models by discussing their advantages and disadvantages. We have outlined some important future research directions in the area of nested transaction processing.
