Data Consistency for P2P Collaborative Editing

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are very efficient for distribut-ing content. We want to use this potential to allow not only distribution but collaborative editing of this content. Exist-ing collaborative editing systems are centralised or depend on the number of sites. Such systems cannot scale when deployed on P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a new model for building a collaborative editing system. This model is fully decentralised and does not depend on the number of sites. Categories and Subject Descriptor
