Abstract

Configuration management tools are traditionally server-based applications. To deal with the new issues emerging from the current (and future) cooperative work scenarios in which connectivity is intrinsically transient new applications based on of a fully decentralized, peer-to-peer architecture were proposed. In this paper we analyze these two architectures leveraging on Stochastic Well-Formed Nets (SWN) models, in order to compare the impact of the two alternative protocols on the collaborative work.
