Different types of model synchronization are analyzed (view updates, selective and incremental synchronization), and this analysis motivates the formal definitions. Particularly, a new formal model of updates is proposed. Relationships between the formal models are precisely specified and discussed.}, author = {Diskin, Zinovy} }
