In this paper, we describe recent work in developing a peer-topeer collaborative environment. The study examines various locking mechanisms/policies by adjusting the granularity o...
New technologies have recently emerged to challenge the very nature of computing: multicore processors, virtualized operating systems and networks, and data-center clouds. One can...
Data de-duplication has become a commodity component in dataintensive systems and it is required that these systems provide high reliability comparable to others. Unfortunately, b...
