CRDTs are highly available replicated data structures which offer strong eventual consistency in the face of concurrent operations [3]. By their definition, CRDTs eventually converge to a consistent state given enough time. However, this is not strict ...
Data replication results in a fundamental trade-off between operation latency and consistency. At the weak end of the spectrum of possible consistency models is eventual consistency, which provides no limit to the staleness of data returned. However, ...
In this article we study the properties of distributed systems that mix eventual and strong consistency. We formalize such systems through <italic>acute cloud types</italic> (ACTs), abstractions similar to conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs), ...
