Abstract :
We present a system for policy-based autonomic replication of data. The system supports multiple distinct replication schemes for a single data item in order to exploit the range of consistency and quality of service requirements of clients. Based on traffic mix and client requirements, nodes in the system may make independent, integrated replica management decisions based on a partial view of the network. A policy based control mechanism is used to administer, manage, and control dynamic replication and access to resources.
