Abstract:

This paper investigates a fully replicated distributed database system suitable for Naval single platform combat systems. It is found that the fully-distributed approach to update synchronisation, where each site completely executes every update, can be tailored to minimise the control message traffic between sites. Database reliability issues are discussed and a number of possible approaches for maintaining data consistency in a fully replicated database are considered.
