Efficient State Management in Parallel and Distributed Systems

This repository contains a draft ACM Computing Surveys article titled "Efficient State Management in Parallel and Distributed Systems".

For graduate-student takeover and collaborative follow-up, start with HANDOFF.md.

Layout

• main.tex: survey manuscript draft.
• HANDOFF.md: detailed Chinese handoff guide for reading papers, forming synthesis, and integrating new material into the survey.
• refs.bib: BibTeX database for the current draft.
• figures/: TikZ figure sources for the propagation view and integrated runtime loop.
• WRITING_FRAMEWORK.md: student handoff guide for structured literature integration and section ownership.
• LITERATURE_MATRIX.md: per-paper scaffold table for collaborative expansion before prose integration.
• third_party/acmart-src/: official acmart source snapshot.

Status

This is a working draft seeded from the current academic-report storyline and the publication list already maintained in the local materials repositories. The repository now includes a first-pass survey taxonomy, two conceptual figures, and a broadened bibliography that connects the draft to foundational stream-processing and stateful-runtime systems. It is intended as a long-form survey draft for later polishing toward ACM CSUR submission.
