Congratulations to Davide Frey, Achour Mostefaoui, Matthieu Perrin, Pierre-Louis Roman, and Francois Taiani for their new paper published in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, entitled Differentiated consistency for worldwide gossips. The paper proposes a novel approach to accelerate the dissemination of a message with an application to update-consistent distributed objects, a special kind of CRDTs (Commutative Replicated Data Types).
The paper has attracted the attention of Mostafa Elhemali, a Seattle-based software engineer who has written a nice blog post about it with some cool animations and experiments.
