Abstract

The increasing number of mobile users raises serious challenges upon middle-tier synchronization techniques and algorithms. The dynamics of backend systems, as well as those of frontend devices translates into an ever-growing demand for service standardization and flexibility. The current paper describes a flexible, scalable, platform-independent system relying on a distributed backend to provide data synchronization services in a multi-user system. The paper describes the desired architectural model used for this approach, continues with the description of the algorithm used by the backend subsystems and briefly describes an exemplary implementation of the aforementioned design.
