👉 Conflict computing, also known as distributed conflict management, is a subfield of distributed systems that addresses the challenges arising from concurrent operations and inconsistent data across multiple nodes in a network. When multiple processes or agents access and modify shared resources simultaneously, conflicts can occur, leading to data inconsistencies or incorrect system states. Conflict computing provides strategies and mechanisms to detect, resolve, and manage these conflicts, ensuring that the system maintains consistency and reliability despite concurrent operations. This involves techniques like versioning, timestamp ordering, and consensus algorithms to coordinate actions and ensure that the system's state remains coherent across all participating nodes.
