The present invention, a disconnected synchronization protocol, minimizes the time spent connected while synchronizing data between disparate data sets residing on an application server and on one or more clients. The concept of application server and clients are interchangeable. The disconnected synchronization protocol takes the philosophy of connecting, sending changes, and disconnecting. The major work of synchronization, conflict resolution, and identifying additions, removals and updates belongs to the server, and a client is connected to the server only when the actual data exchange takes place, i.e., sending and receiving updates.
