PEER TO PEER SYSTEM FOR COLLABORATIVE WORK Using version control and fixed merge pattern to ensure eventual consistency

Th\u91is paper addresses the possibility of using version control and fi\u80xed merge pa\u8bttern to ensure eventual consistency for collaborative work tools. Where the version control is upheld by a vector clock and used to detect confl\u83icts. Which in turn are solved by rolling back to the last common version before using fi\u80xed merge patt\u8bern to create a new common version. In the fixed merge patt\u8bern a score system is used to lose as li\u8bttle work as possible. \u91This is then tested against a leader node solution for the collaborative work tools. Which upli\u89fts a FIFO consistency to sequential consistency by forcing all updates to go through the leader. The test used is a speed test to see if it is a viable solution or not to use when dealing with weak network connection. Since it would require less messages to be sent over the network compared to a leader node solution
