• Duration : October 2013 - September 2016

• Coordinator: Marc Shapiro, Inria

• Other Partners: REGAL project-team (Inria Paris - Rocquencourt / LIP6, coordinator), Basho Technologies Limited (United Kingdom), Trifork AS (Denmark), Rovio Entertaiment OY (Finland), Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal), Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Ko c University (Turkey), Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (Germany) and COAST project-team.

• Large-scale on-line services including social networks and multiplayer games handle huge quantities of frequently changing shared data. Maintaining their consistency is relatively simple in a centralised cloud, but no longer possible due to increased scalability requirements. Instead, data must be replicated across several distributed data centres, requiring new principled approaches to consistency that have been explored by the SyncFree project. http://syncfree.lip6.fr/
