Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for detecting and resolving conflict resolution in a synchronization framework. In this regard, a synchronization framework which has been configured in accordance with the present invention can include a synchronization engine configured for coupling to an application utilizing a data set subject to synchronization with another application. The framework further can include a synchronization adapter communicatively linked to the synchronization engine. Finally, the framework can include conflict detection and resolution logic disposed within the synchronization framework and configured for communication with one of the synchronization engine and the synchronization adapter.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a synchronizing data set are described. The method includes receiving a synchronization command by a SyncML complaint device, accessing a data set associated with the SyncML complaint device, filtering the data set in a source adapter to generate a synchronization data set and communicating the synchronization data set to a SyncML compliant synchronization engine.

Abstract: Described is a method for synchronizing a client with a server. A document score is calculated for each document in a server database. The document score indicates the importance of the respective document to the client. Documents are transferred from the server to the client if their document scores exceed a threshold value. The calculation of the document score can be determined from time the document was created, the number of times the document has been read, the time the document was last accessed, the author of the document and one or more terms in the document. Relationships between the document and other documents on the server database can also affect the document score.
