Replicated Revision Control System

Replicated revision control system (RRCS) is suitable for use in a wide-area distributed computing environment in which computing nodes may fail at any time and the communication network may undergo temporary communication failures or communication partitions. This system has been developed by extending an existing revision control system (RCS). RRCS provides support to the members of a software development group who are geographically distributed and collaborate by using a wide-area network such as the Internet. It efficiently maintains different versions of the source code files that the group members are developing and makes them available on their local machines. The system ensures version availability despite communication or processor failures in the distributed system.
