I have found people answering differences between linearizability and searializability, but nowhere have I found people either saying that serializability is same as sequential consistency or it is different from that. Also I have been pounded with different definitions of the above terms in different articles, books and web pages and I have confused it all. Could someone please explain the difference between serializability and sequential consistency is it exists. I would appreciate formal definitions of the above terms additionally if possible (both in plain English and in terms of the program or execution histories).
