Abstract

Collaborative editing is one of the fundamental problems in distributed systems. It includes a consistent update on shared data. Many approaches to this issue have been proposed, but most of them are for two-dimensional data such as documents, pictures, etc. In this paper, we extend the notion of ChainVoxel which is based on conflict-free replicated data types for a practical collaborative editing system for three-dimensional space.
