The tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability are well understood. Traditionally, however, designers of replicated systems have been forced to choose from eithe...
To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a conti...
Abstract. Optimistic replication is a fundamental technique for supporting collaborative work practices in mobile environments. However, eventual consistency, in contrast to immedi...
