We describe and evaluate a strategy for declustering the parity encoding in a redundant disk array. This declustered parity organization balances cost against data reliability and...
We consider a virtual computing environment that provides computational resources on demand to users with multiattribute task descriptions that include a valuation, resource (CPU)...
