Abstract

Dynamic replication is a new technique for managing data in a distributed processing environment. It is a simple yet powerful scheme that addresses the major problems of distributing databases. This paper discusses dynamic replication and database distribution in three parts: First, several aspects of database distribution common to various techniques are described. Second, some capabilities of dynamic replication are emphasized, inasmuch as they are not available with other techniques. Third, an overview description of dynamic replication is given.
