Decentralized managing of replication objects in massively distributed systems
Daniel Klan, Kai-Uwe Sattler, Katja Hose, Marcel Karnstedt · 2008
Data replication is a central technique to increase availability and performance of distributed systems. While offering many advantages it also requires more effort for ensuring data consistency in case of updates. In the research literature various approaches for replication management in distributed databases have been presented, but they are mostly limited either in scalability or in the consistency guarantees they provide. On the other hand, P2P systems usually provide replication support but ignore the update problem.
