We consider the problem of information retrieval in a peerto-peer file sharing system. We assume that peers are unreliable, metadata are sparse, and queries are short. In light o...
Flash memory is often the technology of choice for sensor networks because of its cost-effectiveness and attractive energy properties. In storage-constrained sensor network applica...

In this paper, we propose a virtual file system, “SPDFS,” which provides global declarations in source programs as virtual files to programmers. Global declarations means ob...
We defeat two proposed Unix file-system race condition defense mechanisms. First, we attack the probabilistic defense mechanism of Tsafrir, et al., published at USENIX FAST 2008[...
A peer-to-peer file sharing system includes a lookup and a content distribution protocol. Very efficient peer-to-peer protocols exist for content distribution, but efficient in...
