CSR: Small: Strong Consistency for Personal and Collaborative Object Stores

该建议的目标是为多个（可能是移动的）设备的用户提供存储系统，为复制的数据提供强大的一致性保证。当用户通过多个设备访问他们的数据时，重要的是通过一个设备进行的数据更新反映在通过其他设备查看的数据中。该项目将研究和实现一致性和共识协议，以便为个人和协作团体提供这些保证。该工作包括几个主要组成部分，包括用户模型的定义、验证和参数化；系统结构的定义，在确保关键系统属性的同时允许层的强分离；以及新协议的设计和优化。这项工作的潜在受众包括在线存储系统和用于跨多个设备复制工作的相关独立工具的用户。

The objective of this proposal is to provide users of multiple, possibly mobile, devices with storage systems that provide strong consistency guarantees for replicated data. When users access their data through multiple devices it is important that data updates made through one device are reflected in the data viewed through others. The project will study and implement consistency and consensus protocols to enable these guarantees for individuals and collaborative groups.The work includes several major components including the definition, validation, and parameterization of a user model; the definition of a system structure allowing strong separation of layers while ensuring key system properties; and the design and optimization of new protocols. The potential audience for this work includes users of online storage systems and related stand-alone tools for replicating work across multiple devices.
