Abstract
A computerized, bandwidth-reduced method of reconciling two ordered sets of values such that a series of changes made to the one are reflected in the other, the method involves maintaining, a positions list, tracking each positional change made to an ordered set and replicating each positional change in the positions list. When a reconciliation is required for a corresponding ordered set in a second location, the method involves creating a concise representation of the changes using the positions list and content of the ordered set by generating a REMOVE SERIES, a SWAP SERIES, an INSERT SERIES, and a CHANGE SERIES, transferring the concise representation from the first location to the second location via a communication path, and sequentially applying the REMOVE SERIES, SWAP SERIES, INSERT SERIES and CHANGE SERIES of the concise representation to the ordered set at the second location.
