We introduce an indexing scheme for the vertices of semi-regular meshes, based on interleaving quadtrees rooted on the edges of the base mesh. Using this indexing scheme we develo...
Data replication in distributed databases has been investigated extensively with the hope that it will improve performance, reliability, and availability. However, the growth of t...
Abstract. In this paper we study data replication in a mirrored disk system. Free disk space is exploited by keeping replicas of specific cylinders at appropriate disk locations. A...
High availability in peer-to-peer DHTs requires data redundancy. This paper compares two popular redundancy schemes: replication and erasure coding. Unlike previous comparisons, w...
