Topic:    Peer-to-peer Database Replication
          Convergence Despite Conflicts

Speaker:  Bruce Lindsay
          IBM Almaden Research Center

About the talk:

When users are allowed to alter any copy of a replicated table,
asynchronous replication of changes must deal with conflicting
changes introduced at diferent table copies. We discuss a high
volumn, low latency replication protocol that insures that all
copies converge to the same, most recent state despite
conflicting changes at different table copies and the delayed
arrival of replication messages between participating sites.

About the speaker:

Dr. Bruce Lindsay is a recognized expert on many aspects of
Relational database technology, He has contributed to the
technology of distributed DBMS, query execution algorithms,
database parallelism, and system performance. Dr. Lindsay is an
IBM Fellow, and an ACM Fellow.

After receiving his PhD from the University of California at
Berkeley, Dr. Lindsay joined IBM Research in San Jose where he
participated in the development of System R (the first Relational
DBMS prototype) and R-star (a distributed RDBMS). Dr. Lindsay
also worked on the design of DRDA (a remote DBMS access protocol)
and was the architect of Starburst (an Extensible RDBMS). In the
90's, Lindsay led the port of the Starburst technology into the
IBM DB2 products and has contributed to many aspects of the DB2
database. Dr. Lindsay was appointed an IBM Fellow in 1996 and is
currently engaged in development of database replication
technologies.
