| - | ===== Aspects of File and Data Synchronization ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | With the ubiquitous use of mobile computational devices such as | ||
| - | laptops and PDAs, it has become increasingly important to be able to | ||
| - | synchronize data between these devices. To give a few examples: a new | ||
| - | appointment inserted in the calendar on a PDA must become visible on | ||
| - | the user's laptop after synchronization (and vice versa); files | ||
| - | modified on the laptop have to be synchronized with the Desktop | ||
| - | computer, and so on. But what do we do when an appointment is modified | ||
| - | on the PDA and at the same time deleted on the laptop? Dealing with | ||
| - | such conflicts is the main difficulty in designing good | ||
| - | synchronization software. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The goal of this thesis is to study, compare, and implement various | ||
| - | approaches to file and data synchronizers. This entails studying some | ||
| - | of the techniques used by distributed systems and version control | ||
| - | systems (such as CVS and Subversion), but also requires an | ||
| - | investigation of some more recent synchronization proposals like | ||
| - | Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html) and the | ||
| - | so-called "Lenses" proposed in the Harmony project | ||
| - | (http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~harmony). | ||
