Abstract
An industry consortium has developed a Java framework for peer-to-peer synchronization of object stores on mobile devices. A device may issue or service requests for synchronization. Successful synchronization leaves replica stores in identical states. The framework is designed to accommodate memory-limited devices and unreliable and expensive connections. Stored objects belong to application classes with methods that are invoked by the framework during synchronization, for example to resolve update conflicts.
