Update synchronization in multiaccess database systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method and apparatus for the management of the placement of immutable fixed-content objects in a distributed, multi-site, mult-tier nonvolatile storage hierarchy consisting of a plurality of storage media connected together over networks of varying bandwidth where the computing, storage, and network resources are subject to failure.

TL;DR: In this article, the identification of fixed content objects in a distributed fixed content storage system is described, where object identifier assignment prevents object identifier collisions in distributed non-connected system regardless of the number of objects being stored and ensures continued operation of the object storage system in the presence of network disruptions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for specifying the placement and managing the placement of objects on a distributed networked grid is described. But it does not specify how to place objects on the grid.

TL;DR: In this paper, file placement rules are applied to dynamically place files and directories within file system views backed by objects in an object storage system, and the object manager then instructs the gateways to update their representations of the first file system view.
