| 1. A computer implemented method of synchronizing databases comprising:
accessing coverage information from a plurality of agent programs by a synchronization engine program, said synchronization
engine program configured for resolving conflicts between said plurality of agent programs, each of said plurality of agent
programs assigned to a single database and each being able to provide data in response to a defined set of queries;
determining, in said synchronization engine program, a common agenda for the plurality of agent programs, the common agenda
being associated with a further set of queries;
asking the further set of queries associated with the common agenda of one of the plurality of agent programs;
receiving an information record from one plurality of agent programs in response to the further set of queries;
updating the common agenda based on the received information record; and
sending said information record to at least one of said plurality of agent programs for synchronizing at least one database,
wherein, said agent programs are single-ended synchronization agent programs.
