Recently, power has emerged as a critical factor in designing components of storage systems, especially for power-hungry data centers. While there is some research into power-awar...
Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
The tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability are well understood. Traditionally, however, designers of replicated systems have been forced to choose from eithe...
Data replication is a key issue in a Data Grid and can be managed in different ways and at different levels of granularity: for example, at the file level or object level. In the ...
We present a genetic algorithm for tackling a file assignment problem for a large-scale video-on-demand system. The file assignment problem is to find the optimal replication and a...
