Abstract
Redundant data management is a must in client server information systems with mobile clients. Based on the level of autonomy of mobile devices/ users techniques for handling such data can be divided into caching, hoarding, and replication. These three terms are often used incorrectly in the literature. To our knowledge the exact definition of the terms has never been published in an international book or journal. We fill this gap with this article. We furthermore explain the terms cache replacement, cache invalidation, cache maintenance, automated hoarding, and synchronization of replicated data.

Neural Networks and Equilibria, Synchronization, and Time Lags
Interaction phenomenon among coupled subsystems of a system resulting in some ordering of their evolution. Its maximal stage is the complete synchronization of the subsystems’ periods resulting in a periodic evolution of the state of the entire system. When a system is externally forced by an oscillatory signal, synchronization means a limit regime of the entire state, which has the same waveform as the forcing signal (periodic with the same period if the forcing signal is periodic or almost periodic if the forcing signal is such).

Clustering in Wireless Sensor Network: A Study on Three Well-Known Clustering Protocols
To provide a common time frame to different nodes. It is mandatory for some important operations of wireless sensor network which aid in improving nodes’ operations and saving their energy such as sleep scheduling and time-based channel sharing, but in the same time, clock synchronization itself contributes in energy consumption due to the highly energy consuming radio transmissions for delivering timing information.
