       This paper describes Treplica, a tool designed for ubiquitous
       replication.  Most of the software tools created so far to aid
       in the construction of distributed applications addressed
       solely how to maintain volatile data consistent in the presence
       of failures, but without offering any relief for the problem of
       managing persistence.  Treplica simplifies the development of
       high-available applications by making transparent the
       complexities of dealing with replication and persistence.
       These complexities are not negligible, and we believe we have
       found a compelling way of factoring out these concerns in a
       simple to understand programming interface.
