Distributed Algorithms For Dynamic Replication Of Data

Summary: Two distributed adaptive algorithms that reconfigure a single-item replication set to follow changing read/write patterns in a communication network. One optimizes communication cost, the other minimizes communication time, and a lower bound on any dynamic-replication algorithm is proved. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
