ABSTRACT:
The present provides for consistent resolution of data conflicts when synchronizing data between two or more devices in order to reduce the likelihood of an infinite synchronization loop within a distributed computing system. More particularly, example embodiments provide for a conflict resolution algorithm capable of generating unique values for properties that are in conflict. Data selection criteria can then be used to determine which of the properties should be used to resolve the conflict. Such data selection criterion increases the likelihood of providing consistent resolution of similar data conflicts between other devices in the distributed system.
