Roeland, what I believe Dr. Rothschild was alluding to is that the underlying problem here is is more of fundamental database managment problem. Key issues are concurrency controls involved in operating on data that must be accessed by multiple readers and writers, among other things.
don't agree on, and am amazed to see, the admission that they don't know at what point the convergeince problem becomes intractible. Or even, if it does... that sounds more like a fundimental lack of understanding of the algorithm itself.
Large, distributed database systems are annoying and hard to deal with, there is no silver bullet yet. This is something the DB folks have been working on for years and since AS's can be viewed as a distributed multiversion databases, no doubt there is much to be learned from the research in the DB field. /vijay
