Replication and Consistency: Being Lazy Helps Sometimes

Summary: Defines a replica-management protocol for a restricted distributed warehousing model that guarantees global serializability with lower message overhead and fewer deadlocks. Novelty: lazy updates to secondary copies plus “virtual sites” to reduce cross-site conflicts among global transactions. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
