+# SLOG: Serializable, Low-latency, Geo-replicated Transactions
+
+Complaint is impossibility of:
+- strict serializability
+- low latency writes
+- high throughput
+
+...*for loads which contain physical region localtion in data access*
+
+
+
+## Definitions
+
+- strict serializability
+  - one-copy serializable
+    - "if X starts after Y completes, then X follows Y in s"
+  - real-time ordering
