Abstract:
1. A conflict resolution system comprising the following computer-implemented components: a processor for executing on a computer executable instruction; a memory having stored therein computer executable instruction; a first synchronization component communicatively coupled to a second synchronization component, wherein the first synchronization component is configured to detect a synchronization conflict associated with changes in the first and second synchronization components, and configured to generate and communicate a conflict resolution request for independent conflict resolution of the synchronization conflict in response to detection of the synchronization conflict; an interface component that facilitates receipt of the conflict resolution request from the first synchronization component; a conflict resolution component that resolves the synchronization conflict identified in the conflict resolution request and that generates a synchronization response message for communication to the first synchronization component, wherein the synchronization response message identifies changes to be implemented by at least one of the first and second synchronization components for resolving the synchronization conflict, and wherein the conflict resolution component is independent of the first and second synchronization components; and wherein the conflict resolution request includes identification of conflicting components and state information thereof.
