Replica Control in Distributed Systems: An Asynchronous Approach

Summary: An asynchronous replica-control framework using epsilon-serializability (ESR) to allow bounded, tunable inconsistency in replicated data. ESR guarantees convergence to global serializability with read access before quiescence, and describes ESR-maintaining methods encapsulated by applications. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
