<p>The subject disclosure relates to synchronizing among network nodes in a multi-master synchronization environment where a knowledge based synchronization framework is extended to include notions of initiation and/or expiration of synchronized object(s). Advantageously, according to the synchronization framework, endpoints can synchronize data in a way that allows a definition of when one or more objects of the synchronized data should come into existence for purposes of a knowledge exchange and/or when one or more objects of the synchronized data should cease to exist for purposes of a knowledge exchange. In one embodiment, additional dimension(s) are placed on a knowledge vector for a given object that represent incremental lifetime information for the object, which is accounted for during the synchronization process to allow operations on the object by synchronizing applications or processes during its lifetime.</p> |
