Fragmentation leads to unpredictable and degraded application performance. While these problems have been studied in detail for desktop filesystem workloads, this study examines n...
Vertical partitioning is a well-known technique for optimizing query performance in relational databases. An extreme form of this technique, which we call vectorization, is to sto...

We present lock-free and wait-free universal constructions for implementing large shared objects. Most previous universal constructions require processes to copy the entire object...
Persistent programming systems are generally supported by an object store, a conceptually infinite object repository. Objects in such a repository cannot be directly accessed by u...
The paper presents various transparency issues that have to be considered during development of object-oriented Grid applications based on virtual repositories. Higher-level transp...
