A novel conflict detection and resolution strategy based on TLRSP in replicated mobile database systems

Replication is one of the key technologies in promoting the performance of mobile database systems. In this paper, a novel mobile database replication scheme, the transaction-level result-set propagation (TLRSP) model, is put forward. A conflict detection and resolution strategy based on TLRSP is discussed in detail and its implementation algorithm is proposed. In the TLRSP model, mobile users are allowed to access local replicas of the database and to submit local transactions when the system is disconnected. The locally committed transactions are sent to a fixed database server for conflict reconciliation and result-set incorporation when the system is reconnected. The TLRSP model uses the incremental refreshing method to synchronize database replicas and to maintain the consistency of the replicated mobile database system.
