Decentralized Management Of Collaborative Operations For Distributed Systems

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a program executable by a first device in a distributed system. The program publishes a first request for a collaborative operation to a first log of the first device. The program further receives, at the first log, a second request for the same collaborative operation. The second request is requested by a second device in the distributed system. The program also publishes a command to a second log of the first device. The command specifies the collaborative operation, the first device and the second device as participants of the collaborative operation, a first set of operations to be performed by the first device as part of the collaborative operations, and a second set of operations to be performed by the second device as part of the collaborative operation. The program further performs the first set of operations as part of the collaborative operation.
