Gray has often been mis-classified. That book was unique, a bit of a cross-over, but the fact remains he was basically an operating system guy. Thirty years ago, he was ahead of his time when he picked up terms like "predicate" but used it for a more narrow purpose than it's used today. His actual field was concurrency, maybe more accurate to say physical concurrency. Sometimes I imagine that the logical concurrency field is yet to be invented.
