3 years ago Provides an alternative to OT, being an algorithm that is symmetrical, as it has nearly identical code in both client and server; state-based, thus not requiring a history of edits to be kept by clients; asynchronous, since it does not block user input while waiting for the response over the network; network resilient, convergent, suitable for any content for which semantic diff and patch algorithms exist; and highly scalable. A working example of this algorithm can be seen in MobWrite \foot{https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-mobwrite/}

This paper describes the Differential Synchronization (DS)method for keeping documents synchronized. The key feature ofDS is that it is simple and well suited for use in both novel andexisting state-based applications without requiring applicationredesign. DS uses deltas to make efficient use of bandwidth, andis fault-tolerant, allowing copies to converge in spite of occasionalerrors. We consider practical implementation of DS and describesome techniques to improve its performance in a browserenvironment.
