Abstract :
Information networks in which workstations access central data collections primarily to extract information are a growing application segment. When a workstation is likely to use an item more than once it may be economical to retain a copy locally. We describe how to propagate updates for an arbitrary relationship between the source database and cached items when the network connection is intermittent, unreliable, and/or slow.
