Towards Efficient Time-stamping for Autonomous Versioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We sketch a decentralized versioning scheme that handles the detection of concurrent updates among an arbitrary number of replicas, overcoming the limitations that a centralized knowledge of that number imposes to Mobile Computing.

Incorporating Data Citation in a Biomedical Repository: An Implementation Use Case
Research data is a dynamic and evolving entity and the ability to cite such data depends on recreating the same datasets utilized in the original research. Despite the availability of several existing technologies, most data repositories lack the necessary setup to recreate a point-in-time snapshot of data, let alone long-term sustainability of dynamic data without restoring an entire database....
متن کاملOptimally Efficient Accountable Time-Stamping
Efficient secure time-stamping schemes employ a 2-level approach in which the time-stamping service operates in rounds. We say that a time-stamping service is accountable if if it makes the TSA and other authorities accountable for their actions by enabling a principal to detect and later prove to a judge any frauds, including attempts to reorder time-stamps from the same round. We investigate ...
متن کاملCausality in Autonomous Mobile Systems
The analysis of causal relations among events in a distributed computation plays a central role in distributed systems modeling. Existing models for causal time-stamping are based on a known set of entities, either processes or data repositories, where events can occur. The advent of mobile computing settings that stimulate cooperation among arbitrary groups of nodes, possibly in isolation, pre...
متن کاملA Two-level Time-Stamping System
electronic document existed at a certain point in time and that it has not been modified since then. Different time-stamping schemes have already been proposed. Most of them use the concept of trusted Time-Stamping Authority (TSA). A TSA is in charge of time-stamping documents and delivering a timestamping certificate for each time-stamped document. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new...
متن کاملData Modification Language for Full Support of Temporal Schema Versioning
We propose a language to define data update during schema versioning in a temporal object-oriented database. With this language, a user can express multi-schema modifications involving extensional data from different schema versions at the same time, improving the database environment with temporal and versioning features concerning database modification. We also provide the first steps towards...
