-* [CAP Twelve Years Later: How the "Rules" Have Changed](http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~rxin/db-papers/CAP.pdf) (2012): The CAP theorem, proposed by Eric Brewer, asserts that any networked shared-data system can have only two of three desirable properties: Consistency, Availability, and Partition-Tolerance. A number of NoSQL stores reference CAP to justify their decision to sacrifice consistency. This is Eric Brewer's writeup on CAP in retrospective, explaining "'2 of 3' formulation was always misleading because it tended to oversimplify the tensions among properties."
