Logical scheme improvement for maintaining replicated data in distributed environment
David Shou, Sheng‐De Wang · Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers · 1994
Data can be replicated to improve availability and performance in a distributed environment. To ensure the consistency of the replicated data, many schemes have been proposed. Most of these schemes are designed based on the quorum set approach. However, some of them are dominated. Such schemes can be further improved. By using theoretical analysis, we devise a paradigm for refining quorum schemes for managing replicated data. We present two dominating alternatives to a recently proposed high performance scheme.
