- abstract = "Data replication is the core of distributed systems to enhance their fault tolerance and make services highly available to the end-users. Data replication masks run-time failures and hence, makes the system more reliable. There are many contemporary data replication strategies for this purpose, but the decision to choose an appropriate strategy for a certain environment and a specific scenario is a challenge and full of compromises. There exists a potentially indefinite number of scenarios that cannot be covered entirely by contemporary strategies. It demands designing new data replication strategies optimized for the given scenarios. The constraints of such scenarios are often conflicting in a sense that an increase in one objective could be sacrificial to the others, which implies there is no best solution to the problem but what serves the purpose. In this regard, this research provides a genetic programming-based multi-objective optimization approach that endeavors to not only identify, but also design new data replication strategies and optimize their conflicting objectives as a single-valued metric. The research provides an intelligent, automatic mechanism to generate new replication strategies as well as easing up the decision making so that relevant strategies with satisfactory trade-offs of constraints can easily be picked and used from the generated solutions at run-time. Moreover, it makes the notion of hybrid strategies easier to accomplish which otherwise would have been very cumbersome to achieve, therefore, to optimize.",
