To address this, researchers have proposed MapReduce extensions or alternative programming models in which these algorithms can be elegantly expressed. This article espouses a ...

Many application systems make use of various forms of asynchronously updated replicas to improve scalability, availability and performance. If an application uses replicas that are not in sync with source data, it is clearly willing to accept results that are not completely current, but typically with some limits on how stale the data can be. Today, such requirements are not explicitly declared...
