Strong Replication in the GlobData Middleware
Luı́s Rodrigues, Hugo Miranda, Rui Roberto de Almeida, João Martins, Pedro Vicente · 2002
GLOBDATA is a project that aims to design and implement a middleware tool offering the abstraction of a global object database repository. This tool, called COPLA, supports transactional access to geographically distributed persistent objects independent of their location. Additionally, it supports replication of data according to different consistency criteria. For this purpose, COPLA implements a number of consistency protocols offering different tradeoffs between performance and fault-tolerance. This paper
