Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...
We consider the problem of data durability in lowbandwidth large-scale distributed storage systems. Given the limited bandwidth between replicas, these systems suffer from long re...
