- | ===== 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). | ||
