Distributed System, Transaction Processing, Replica Control and Management
Getting relief quickly to people and areas of need in large scale disaster situations is a concern that arises ever so frequently. Computer technologies can be very helpful in these situations and in particular a computerized distributed system to manage resources could be quite appropriate. In order to increase availability of resources in a distributed system some or all of the data items are replicated and stored at separate sites. We have built a distributed service, COPAR that manages updates to widely deployed counter-like replicas. We demonstrate in this paper how COPAR can be used in the distribution of disaster relief.
