An Experimental Analysis of Replicated Copy Control During Site Failure and Recovery

This research is an attempt to understand the effects of failures in replicated copy control on distributed database systems. The function of replicated copy control is to maintain the consistency of copies during periods of site failure and recovery. The objectives of our research are to examine the effect of failures on the consistency of replicated copies, to measure the rate at which inconsistency can be removed, and to measure the overheads associated with replicated copy control.
