Primarily Disconnected Operation: Experiences with Ficus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ficus is a exible replication facility with optimistic concurrency control designed to span a wide range of scales and network environments. Support for partitioned operation is fundamental to the Ficus design but was not widely exercised in early Ficus use. This position paper reports recent experiences using Ficus in settings where some replicas are only occasionally connected to a network, and hence partitioned operation is the rule rather than the exception. We conclude that with some tuning, Ficus adapted quite well to primarily disconnected operation.

متن کاملResolving File Conflicts in the Ficus File System
Ficus is a flexible replication facility with optimistic concurrency control designed to span a wide range of scales and network environments. Optimistic concurrency control provides rapid local access and high availability of files for update in the face of disconnection, at the cost of occasional conflicts that are only discovered when the system is reconnected. Ficus reliably detects all pos...
متن کاملDisconnected Operation in a Mobile Computation System
With the increasing use of mobile devices to access the Internet anytime and anywhere, the relevance of disconnected operation has emerged. Disconnected operation allows users to execute applications during temporary failures in networks or when they explicitly decide to work off-line. This paper presents a system, called Jamp, that uses mobile computation (or logical mobility) to handle discon...

متن کاملThe Design and Implementation of Distributed, Disconnected Operation in PRCS
Traditional client-server version control applications have not addressed the need for disconnected operation. This mode of operation, applied to version control, allows users to use the version control utility to its fullest extent when disconnected from a shared repository. Version control applications demonstrate several features unique to read-only media that virtually eliminates changes to...
