Distributed data replication and synchronization Sponsor: NSF Abstract Many distributed applications in the current Internet are massively replicated to ensure unsurpassed data robustness and scalability; however, constant data churn (i.e., update of the source) and delayed synchronization lead to staleness and thus lower performance in these systems. The goal of this project is to pioneer a stochastic theory of data replication that can tackle non-trivial dependency issues in synchronization of general non-Poisson point processes, design more accurate sampling and prediction algorithms for measuring data churn, solve novel multi-source and multi-replica staleness-optimization problems, establish new fundamental understanding of cooperative and multi-hop replication, and model non-stationary update processes of real sources.
