Increased reliance on optimistic data replication has led to burgeoning interest in tools and frameworks for synchronizing disconnected updates to replicated data. We have implemented a generic synchronization framework, called Harmony, that can be used to build statebased synchronizers for a wide variety of tree-structured data formats. A novel feature of this framework is that the synchronization process—in particular, the recognition of conflicts—is driven by the schema of the structures being synchronized. We formalize Harmony’s synchronization algorithm, state a simple and intuitive specification, and illustrate how it can be used to synchronize trees representing a variety of specific forms of application data, including sets, records, and tuples.
