A consistent backup, preserving data integrity across files in a file system, is of utmost importance for the purpose of correctness and minimizing system downtime during the proc...
Computational e-mail systems, which allow mail messages to containcommandscripts that automaticallyexecute upon receipt, can be used as a basis for building a variety of collabora...
Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
A conventional file system provides the user with generic structure and semantics for accessing files. The default scheme is sufficient for many applications. However, many applic...
