Rumor is an optimistically replicated file system designed for use in mobile computers. Rumor uses a peer model that allows opportunistic update propagation among any sites replicating files. The paper outlines basic characteristics of replication systems for mobile computers, describes the design and implementation of the Rumor file system, and presents performance data for Rumor. The research described demonstrates the feasibility of using peer optimistic replication to support mobile computing.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-49121-7_22
