A replicated state cluster is provided that employs a standby node state assessment during a leadership transition. One method, by a first standby node, comprises monitoring communications from a first cluster leader, wherein the first cluster leader and the first standby node are members of a replicated state cluster; obtaining a designation as a second cluster leader of the replicated state cluster in response to the first cluster leader becoming unavailable; and assessing a state of an additional standby node of the replicated state cluster within a time period after the designation, wherein the additional standby node is available as a candidate leader of the replicated state cluster during the time period when the state of the additional standby node is valid based on one or more validity criteria, wherein the state comprises one or more results of one or more write operations generated by an application.

A computerized method for dynamic consistency management of server side cache management units in a distributed cache, comprising: updating a server side cache management unit by a client; assigning each of a plurality of server side cache management units to one of a plurality of propagation topology groups according to an analysis of a plurality of cache usage measurements thereof, each of said propagation topology groups is associated with a different write request propagation scheme; and managing client update notifications of members of each of said propagation topology groups according to the respective said different write request propagation scheme which is associated therewith.

Systems and methods for data casting in an interest aware peer network are provided. The method comprises determining whether a set of interests associated with a node in a network is updated, wherein the set of interests comprises one or more topics IDs, wherein each topic ID corresponds to a topic of interest associated with said node; distributing the set of interests associated with the node to one or more neighboring nodes by way of a first distribution scheme until N nodes in the network are aware of the updated set of interests for the node; providing each node in the network with a mechanism to determine value of a topic of interest in a set of interests received in association with a node based on a topic ID included in the set of interests for the node.
