AUTHOR:: Lantz, Keith A. DATE:: September 1985 PAGES:: 14 ABSTRACT:: This paper describes a computer bulletin board facility intended to support replicated bulletin boards on a network that may frequently be in a state of partition. The two major design issues covered are the choice of a name space and the choice of replication algorithms. The impact of the name space on communication costs is explained. A special purpose replication algorithm that provides high availability and response despite network partition is introduced. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19950501] END:: STAN//CS-TR-85-1084
