Elasticity of cloud computing environments provides an economic incentive for automatic resource allocation of stateful systems running in the cloud. However, these systems have t...
We consider connection-level models of resource allocation in a simple symmetric three-link network, where files arrive into the network according to a Poisson process and the siz...
In this paper, we provide an overview of Logistical Runtime System (LoRS). LoRS is an integrated ensemble of tools and services that aggregate primitive (best effort, faulty) stor...

Abstract-- Shared temporary storage space is often the constraining resource for clusters that serve as execution nodes in wide-area distributed systems. At least one large nationa...
Peer-to-peer systems provide the opportunity to pool large amounts of distributed resources to enable internetscale applications. However, the participant nodes are highly dynamic...
