Aw. Fu et al., HYPERCUBE QUORUM CONSENSUS FOR MUTUAL EXCLUSION AND REPLICATED DATA MANAGEMENT, Computers & mathematics with applications (1987), 36(5), 1998, pp. 45-59
Data can be replicated in a database system in order to improve availa
bility and performance. In this paper, we impose a hypercube structure
on the copies of data items. A protocol is then developed using the i
nformation of the logical structure to manage replicated data with hig
h availability and st the same time minimize the communication cost in
curred for some networks. The algorithm for this protocol is given, an
d properties of the protocol are investigated. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien
