ABSTRACT:
A Replication and Synchronization Engine (RSE) provides a user of a mobile computer with a consistent namespace of resources available to a network despite the connection status of the computer. The specifications (names) of the resources as viewed by the user when the computer is connected to the network are identical to the names as viewed by the user when the computer is disconnected from the network. RSE provides such a consistent namespace by maintaining complete, local replicas of a user-selected subset of these resources at the mobile computer, along with local "name-only" representations of the remaining resources. The resources maintained by RSE may include any network resource, such as a server, volume, directory, file, printer queue and other object, that the mobile computer can access.
