Abstract
Write operations for weakly consistent replicated database systems have embedded application-specific merge procedures that are invoked for resolving conflicts whenever it is found that the related write operation conflicts with the current state of a given instance of such a database. The effect of executing such a merge procedure is deterministic for any state of the given instance of the database happens to be in when the merge procedure is executed.
